NASB
"A wise man scales the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust."
— Proverbs 21:22, NASB
“A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.”
It is better to live in a desert land Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up.
He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness and honor.
A wise man scales the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
"Proud," "Haughty," "Scoffer," are his names, Who acts with insolent pride.
The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work;
