Proverbs 21:23 Context
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. 24Proud and haughtie scorner, is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. 25The desire of the slouthfull killeth him: for his hands refuse to labour.
