23 Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.
24 The proud and haughty man, "scoffer" is his name; He works in the arrogance of pride.
25 The desire of the sluggard kills him, For his hands refuse to labor.
26 There are those who covet greedily all the day long; But the righteous gives and doesn`t withhold.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
28 A false witness will perish, And a man who listens speaks to eternity.
29 A wicked man hardens his face; But as for the upright, he establishes his ways.
