Proverbs 21:23-30

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

²⁴A proud man and boaster is called a fool, that worketh pride in ire.

²⁵Desires slay a slow man; for his hands would not work anything.

²⁶All day he coveteth and desireth; but he that is a just or rightwise man, shall give, and shall not cease.

²⁷The offerings of wicked men, that be offered of great trespass, be abominable.

²⁸A false witness shall perish; a man obedient shall speak victory.

²⁹A wicked man maketh firm his cheer unshamefastly; but he that is rightful or right, amendeth his way.

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