Proverbs 21:22

Compare all

20 ^aThere is desirable treasure,
And oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man squanders it.

21 ^aHe who follows righteousness and mercy
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

22 A ^awise man scales the city of the mighty,
And brings down the trusted stronghold.

23 ^aWhoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles.

24 A proud and haughty man— “Scoffer” is his name;
He acts with arrogant pride.
