Proverbs 21:21-31

²¹He that followeth after righteousnes and mercy, shall finde life, righteousnes, and glory.

²²A wise man goeth vp into the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof.

²³He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from afflictions.

²⁴Proude, hautie and scornefull is his name that worketh in his arrogancie wrath.

²⁵The desire of the slouthfull slayeth him: for his hands refuse to worke.

²⁶He coueteth euermore greedily, but the righteous giueth and spareth not.

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

²⁸A false witnes shall perish: but hee that heareth, speaketh continually.

²⁹A wicked man hardeneth his face: but the iust, he will direct his way.

³⁰There is no wisedome, neither vnderstanding, nor counsell against the Lord.

³¹The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but saluation is of the Lord.
