22A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and brings down the strength of its confidence.
23Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
24The proud and haughty man, “scoffer” is his name; he works in the arrogance of pride.
25The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
26There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the upright give and don’t withhold.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
28A false witness will perish, and a man who sh'ma ·hears obeys· speaks to eternity.
29A wicked man hardens his face; but as for the upright, he establishes his ways.
