20There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise,but a foolish man swallows it up. 21He who follows after righteousness and kindnessfinds life, righteousness, and honor. 22A wise man scales the city of the mighty,and brings down the strength of its confidence. 23Whoever guards his mouth and his tonguekeeps his soul from troubles. 24The proud and arrogant man — “Scoffer” is his name — he works in the arrogance of pride.
