Proverbs 21:21-25

One who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

A wise person scales the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

One who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.

“Proud,” “Arrogant,” “Scoffer,” are his names, One who acts with insolent pride.

The desire of the lazy one puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work;
