Proverbs 29:18-26

¹⁸When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.

¹⁹A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.

²⁰Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.

²¹He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.

²²A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.

²³Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.

²⁴He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.

²⁵He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.

²⁶Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
