Proverbs 21:20

World English Bible

²⁰There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
but a foolish man swallows it up.

²⁰The wise store up choice food and olive oil,
but fools gulp theirs down.

²²To a city of warriors, the wise ascends,
and he will bring down the stronghold—its object of trust.

²²A wise man scales the city of the mighty,
and brings down the strength of its confidence.

²²One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty^(A)
and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.
