Proverbs 22:10-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

10. Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave;Yes, strife and reproach will cease.

11. He who loves purity of heartAnd has grace on his lips,The king will be his friend.

12. The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge,But He overthrows the words of the faithless.

13. The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside!I shall be slain in the streets!”
