Proverbs 21:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ Those who ·are careful about what they say [^Lguard their mouth and tongue]
·keep themselves out of [guard themselves from] trouble.

²⁴ People who act with stubborn pride
are called “proud,” “bragger,” and “mocker.”

²⁵ Lazy people’s ·desire for sleep [^Llongings] will kill them,
because ·they refuse to work [^Ltheir hands refuse to do anything; 2 Thess. 3:10].
