20 Valuables are safe in a wise person’s home;fools put it all out for yard sales.
21 Whoever goes hunting for what is right and kindfinds life itself—glorious life!
22 One sage entered a whole city of armed soldiers—their trusted defenses fell to pieces!
23 Watch your words and hold your tongue;you’ll save yourself a lot of grief.
24 You know their names—Brash, Impudent, Blasphemer—intemperate hotheads, every one.
25 Lazy people finally die of hungerbecause they won’t get up and go to work.
26 Sinners are always wanting what they don’t have;the God-loyal are always giving what they do have.
