Proverbs 21:21

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁰ There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of a wise man, but a foolish man swallows it up. ²¹ He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor. ²² A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and brings down the strength of the confidence of it.
