Proverbs 21:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 21:20

18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,
And the unfaithful for the upright.

19 Better to dwell¹ in the wilderness,
Than with a contentious and angry woman.

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.
