Proverbs 21:22-24

New Life Version

²² A wise man goes over the city walls of the powerful, and brings down the strong-place in which they trust.

²³ He who watches over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

²⁴ “Proud,” “Self-important” and “One who laughs at the truth” are the names of the man who acts without respect and is proud.
