Proverbs 21:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² A wise man can climb up to a city full of warriors
and pull down the strong defenses in which they trust.
²³ The person who guards his mouth and his tongue
    guards himself from troubles.
²⁴ The contemptuous, insolent person—“Scoffer” is his name—
    behaves with overflowing arrogance.
