23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.
24The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.
25The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.
26There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!
28A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.
29A wicked man hardeneth his face; But as for the upright, he establisheth his ways.
30There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Jehovah.
31The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.
