20Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of the wise; But the foolish man swalloweth them up.
21He who followeth after righteousness and mercy Shall find life, prosperity, and honor.
22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength in which it trusted.
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from trouble.
24The proud and haughty,—scoffer is his name; He acteth with haughty arrogance.
25The desire of the sluggard will destroy him; For his hands refuse to labor.
