22 A wise person fought a city of warriorsand brought down the stronghold in which they felt safe.
23 Those who guard their mouths and their tonguesguard themselves from trouble.
24 Incredibly proud—mockers are their name!Their conduct involves excessive pride.
25 The desires of the lazy will kill them,because their hands refuse to do anything.
26 The lazy desire things constantly,but the righteous give without holding back.
27 The Lord detests the sacrifices of the wicked,especially when brought with devious motives.
28 A lying witness will perish,but one who listens will testify successfully.
