Proverbs 21:21-31
New International Version
22 One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty(C)
and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.
24 The proud and arrogant person(F)—“Mocker” is his name—
behaves with insolent fury.
25 The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him,(G)
because his hands refuse to work.
26 All day long he craves for more,
but the righteous(H) give without sparing.(I)
29 The wicked put up a bold front,
but the upright give thought to their ways.(N)
31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but victory rests with the Lord.(Q)
