Proverbs 21:23-30

²³Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps himself out of trouble.

²⁴The proud and haughty person—”Mocker” is his name— acts with arrogant pride.

²⁵The desire of the lazy kills him, for his hands refuse to work.

²⁶All day long he craves and craves more, but the righteous person gives and does not hold back.

²⁷The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable; it is even more detestable when he brings it with evil motives.

²⁸A false witness will perish, but the one who listens will speak for all time.

²⁹A wicked man makes his face hard, but an upright person is certain about his ways.

³⁰There is no wisdom, there is no understanding, and there is no advice that can stand against Yahweh.
