Proverbs 21:24 BBE

²²  A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith.

²³  He who keeps watch over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

²⁴  The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.

²⁵  The desire of the hater of work is death to him, for his hands will do no work.

²⁶  All the day the sinner goes after his desire: but the upright man gives freely, keeping nothing back.
