14 The mouth of a whore is a bottomless pit; you'll fall in that pit if you're on the outs with God.

15 Young people are prone to foolishness and fads; the cure comes through tough-minded discipline.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 22:14-15

Commentary on Proverbs 22:14

(Read Proverbs 22:14)

The vile sin of licentiousness commonly besots the mind beyond recovery.

Commentary on Proverbs 22:15

(Read Proverbs 22:15)

Sin is foolishness, it is in the heart, there is an inward inclination to sin: children bring it into the world with them; and it cleaves close to the soul. We all need to be corrected by our heavenly Father.
