21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.
24Proud and haughty scorner is his name, Who dealeth in proud wrath.
25The desire of the slothful killeth him; For his hands refuse to labour.
26He coveteth greedily all the day long: But the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28A false witness shall perish: But the man that heareth, speaketh constantly.
