Proverbs 22:12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
Verse 12 tells us that God guards those that are following in His ways because we knowledgeable unto salvation. But for those that are sinning God will not help them in furthering their sin In verse 13 we see yet another excuse for the lazy person not to work. This one is the lamest excuse yet that a lion would enter a city when they live in the jungle. He is just totally determined not to work. This last verse talks again of the adulteress who use all kinds of flattering language to lure men into a pit that can cause more damage than you can believe. Not only can you lose your salvation for this sin but the punishment for this could come her on this earth in the form of disease, family problems, and the lose of friends. These three verse carry more of a warning to us again and shows us things we need to stay away from and as the first verse says to gain knowledge and walk in God’s ways is the only way to salvation.
