Proverbs 22:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. Remove the mocker and conflict disappears;judgment and shame also stop.

11. Those who love a pure heart—their speech is gracious, and the king is their friend.

12. The Lord’s eyes protect knowledge,but he frustrates the words of the treacherous.

13. A lazy person says, "There’s a lion in the street!I’ll be killed in the town square!"

14. The mouth of a mysterious woman is a deep pit;those under the Lord’s wrath will fall in it.

15. Folly is bound up in a child’s heart;the rod of discipline removes it.
