Proverbs 22:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 The mouth of a loose woman[a] is a deep pit;
he with whom the Lord is angry falls into it.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline drives it far away.(A)
16 Oppressing the poor in order to enrich oneself,
and giving to the rich, will lead only to loss.
