Proverbs 29:18-23

¹⁸When prophecy faileth, the people shall be destroyed; but he that keepeth the law, is blessed.

¹⁹A servant may not be taught by words; for he understandeth that that thou sayest, and he despiseth to answer.

²⁰Thou hast seen a man swift to speak; folly shall be hoped more than his amending or folly more is to be hoped for than the correction of him.

²¹He that nourisheth his servant delicately from childhood, shall find him a rebel or unobedient afterward.

²²A wrathful man stirreth chidings; and he that is light to have indignation, shall be more inclined to sins.

²³Lowness followeth a proud man; and glory shall up-take a meek man of spirit.
