Proverbs 21:24

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.

25 The ^adesire of the lazy man kills him,
For his hands refuse to labor.

26 He covets greedily all day long,
But the righteous ^agives and does not spare.
