20. A treasure to be desired, and oil, [Is] in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.
21. Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22. A city of the mighty hath the wise gone up, And bringeth down the strength of its confidence.
23. Whoso is keeping his mouth and his tongue, Is keeping from adversities his soul.
24. Proud, haughty, scorner [is] his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.
