Proverbs 21:22-30

²²The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof.

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

²⁴The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride.

²⁵Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all.

²⁶He longeth and desireth all the day: but he that is just, will give, and will not cease.

²⁷The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.

²⁸A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory.

²⁹The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way.

³⁰There is no wisdom, there is no prudence, there is no counsel against the Lord.
