Proverbs 21:20-30

²⁰There are a desirable treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man will swallow it up.

²¹He that pursueth righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.

²²A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength in which they trusted.

²³Whoso guardeth his mouth and his tongue guardeth his soul against distresses.

²⁴The presumptuous and proud, scorner is his name, dealeth in the wrath of presumption.

²⁵The longing of the slothful will kill him; for his hands refuse to labor.

²⁶All the day he feeleth a great longing; but the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

²⁷The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a sinful purpose?

²⁸A lying witness shall perish; but the man that is obedient to the law can speak for ever.

²⁹A wicked man showeth impudence in his face; but as for the upright, he will consider well his way.

³⁰There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.
