Proverbs 21:24

He who follows after righteousness and kindness

finds life, righteousness, and honor.

A wise man scales the city of the mighty,

and brings down the strength of its confidence.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue

keeps his soul from troubles.

The desire of the sluggard kills him,

for his hands refuse to labor.

There are those who covet greedily all day long;

but the righteous give and don’t withhold.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination—

how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
