Proverbs 21:22-24

Lexham English Bible

²² To a city of warriors, the wise ascends,
    and he will bring down the stronghold—its object of trust.
²³ He who guards his mouth and his tongue,
    he guards his life^[a] from danger.
²⁴ The proud, haughty one: “scoffer” is his name;
    he acts with arrogance of pride.
