Proverbs 21:21-26

²¹He that pursueth rightfulness or followeth rightwiseness and mercy, shall find life and rightwiseness and glory.

²²A wise man ascended into the city of strong men, and destroyed the strength of the trust thereof.

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

²⁴A proud man and boaster is called a fool, that worketh pride in ire.

²⁵Desires slay a slow man; for his hands would not work anything.

²⁶All day he coveteth and desireth; but he that is a just or rightwise man, shall give, and shall not cease.
