Proverbs 21:21-27

²¹If you pursue goodness and trustworthy love, you'll find life, prosperity, and honor.

²²The wise can overcome a city belonging to strong warriors, and tear down the fortress they trusted to protect them.

²³If you watch what you say, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.

²⁴A proud, conceited, mocker—that's the name of those who act with insolent arrogance.

²⁵Slackers die hungry because they refuse to work.

²⁶Some people only want more and more all the time, but the good give generously.

²⁷The sacrifices given by the wicked are obnoxious, worse still when they're offered with evil motives.
