22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and casts down the stronghold in which they trust.
23 Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scoffer is his name, who deals in arrogant pride.
25 The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labor.
26 He covets greedily all the day long: but the righteous gives and spares not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind?
28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that hears speaks constantly.
