5Diligent thoughts lead to mad blessings, but those who rush just end up wanting, periodt.

6Snagging treasures with a lying tongue? That’s just a wild chase for death, no cap.

7Wicked thieves gonna wreck themselves 'cause they can’t keep it 100 with judgment.

8The way of man is kinda sketchy and weird, but pure peeps keep it right, no doubt.

9Better to chill in a tiny corner than deal with a drama queen in a big house, for real.

10The wicked crave evil vibes; their neighbors ain't feeling the love, that’s facts.

11When the hater gets called out, the chill ones level up; and when the smart peeps get schooled, they gain mad knowledge.

19Better to vibe solo in the wild than deal with a drama queen who’s always mad.

20There’s treasure and oil in the pad of the wise; but a fool just blows it all, no cap.

23Keeping your mouth and tongue in check saves you from mad drama, fr.

24Proud and savage? That’s just his vibe, dealing with anger like it’s a game.

25The lazy dude’s dreams are dead; he won’t even lift a finger to work, no cap.

KJV: Proverbs 21

1The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

3To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

5The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

7The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

8The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

12The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

14A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

15It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

16The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

17He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

18The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

19It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

20There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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