21 He who follows after righteousness and kindness Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings down the strength of its confidence.
23 Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.
24 The proud and haughty man, 'scoffer' is his name; He works in the arrogance of pride.
25 The desire of the sluggard kills him, For his hands refuse to labor.
