[It is] joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity (21:15) The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead (21:16) He that loveth pleasure [shall be] a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich (21:17) The wicked [shall be] a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright (21:18) [It is] better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman (21:19) [There is] treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up (21:20) He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour (21:21) A wise [man] scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof (21:22) Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles (21:23) Proud [and] haughty scorner [is] his name, who dealeth in proud wrath (21:24) The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour (21:25) He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not (21:26) The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination: how much more, [when] he bringeth it with a wicked mind? (21:27) A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly (21:28) A wicked man hardeneth his face: but [as for] the upright, he directeth his way (21:29) [There is] no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord (21:30) The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the Lord
(21:31)
