Proverbs 21:20-25

²⁰Desirable treasure and oil are kept in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish person swallows it all up.

²¹The one who does right and is kind— this person finds life, righteousness, and honor.

²²A wise man scales the city of the mighty ones, and he brings down the stronghold in which they trusted.

²³Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps himself out of trouble.

²⁴The proud and haughty person—”Mocker” is his name— acts with arrogant pride.

²⁵The desire of the lazy kills him, for his hands refuse to work.
