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.
