Proverbs 29:18-25

¹⁸There shall be no interpreter to a sinful nation: but he that observes the law is blessed.

¹⁹A stubborn servant will not be reproved by words: for even if he understand, still he will not obey.

²⁰If thou see a man hasty in his words, know that the fool has hope rather than he.

²¹He that lives wantonly from a child, shall be a servant, and in the end shall grieve over himself.

²²A furious man stirs up strife, and a passionate man digs up sin.

²³Pride brings a man low, but the Lord upholds the humble-minded with honour.

²⁴He that shares with a thief, hates his own soul: and if any having heard an oath uttered tell not of it,

²⁵they fearing and reverencing men unreasonably have been overthrown, but he that trusts in the Lord shall rejoice. Ungodliness causes a man to stumble: but he that trusts in his master shall be safe.
