Proverbs 21:23-25
Modern English Version
23 Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue
keeps his soul from trouble.
24 Proud and haughty—scorner is his name,
who deals in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful kills him,
for his hands refuse to labor.
Proverbs 21:23-25
New International Version
24 The proud and arrogant person(C)—“Mocker” is his name—
behaves with insolent fury.
25 The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him,(D)
because his hands refuse to work.
