Proverbs 21:23-31

Proverbs 21:23-31 CSB

The one who guards his mouth and tongue keeps himself out of trouble. The arrogant and proud person, named “Mocker,” acts with excessive arrogance. A slacker’s craving will kill him because his hands refuse to work. He is filled with craving all day long, but the righteous give and don’t hold back. The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable — how much more so when he brings it with ulterior motives! A lying witness will perish, but the one who listens will speak successfully. A wicked person puts on a bold face, but the upright one considers his way. No wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel will prevail against the Lord. A horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory comes from the Lord.
