Proverbs 21:21-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

21. Anyone who wants to be godly and loving finds life, success and honor.

22. Those who are wise can attack a strong city. They can pull down the place of safety its people trust in.

23. Anyone who is careful about what he says keeps himself out of trouble.

24. A proud person is called a "mocker." He thinks much too highly of himself.
