Proverbs 21:18-23

¹⁸The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright.

¹⁹It is better to be living in a waste land, than with a bitter-tongued and angry woman.

²⁰There is a store of great value in the house of the wise, but it is wasted by the foolish man.

²¹He who goes after righteousness and mercy will get life, righteousness, and honour.

²²A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith.

²³He who keeps watch over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
