Proverbs 21:21 Context
19It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and an angry woman. 20There is treasure to be desired, and oyle in the dwelling of the wise: but a foolish man spendeth it vp. 21Hee that followeth after righteousnesse and mercy, findeth life, righteousnesse and honour. 22A wise man scaleth the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof. 23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from troubles.
