Proverbs 21:20-22
New Century Version
20 Wise people’s houses are full of the best foods and olive oil,
but fools waste everything they have.
21 Whoever tries to live right and be loyal
finds life, success, and honor.
22 A wise person can defeat a city full of warriors
and tear down the defenses they trust in.
Proverbs 21:20-22
New International Version
20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil,
but fools gulp theirs down.
22 One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty(C)
and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.
