24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labor.

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long; but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination; how much more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

28 A false witness shall perish; but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

29 A wicked man hardeneth his face; but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but safety is of the Lord.

Proverbs 22
1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

2 The rich and poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.

3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
