Proverbs 22:16 BBE

¹⁴  The mouth of strange women is a deep hole: he with whom the Lord is angry will go down into it.

¹⁵  Foolish ways are deep-seated in the heart of a child, but the rod of punishment will send them far from him.

¹⁶  He who is cruel to the poor for the purpose of increasing his profit, and he who gives to the man of wealth, will only come to be in need.

¹⁷  Let your ear be bent down for hearing my words, and let your heart give thought to knowledge.

¹⁸  For it is a delight to keep them in your heart, to have them ready on your lips.
