Proverbs 21:23-30

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.

²⁹A wicked man showeth impudence in his face; but as for the upright, he will consider well his way.

³⁰There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.
