Proverbs 21:17-25

¹⁷He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich.

¹⁸The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous.

¹⁹It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.

²⁰There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it.

²¹He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory.

²²The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof.

²³He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress.

²⁴The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride.

²⁵Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all.
