Proverbs 21:21
King James VersionSource notes
“He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.”
Context
18The wicked a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20treasure 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 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 haughty scorner his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
