Proverbs 21:22-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

²² A ^(A)wise man scales the city of the mighty
And brings down the ^[a]stronghold in which they trust.
²³ He who ^(B)guards his mouth and his tongue,
Guards his soul from troubles.
²⁴ “Proud,” “Haughty,” “^(C)Scoffer,” are his names,
Who acts with ^(D)insolent pride.
