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)
