PROVERBS 29:20-27

²⁰Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

²¹He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become a son at the last.

²²An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.

²³A man’s pride shall bring him low: but he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honour.

²⁴Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.

²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

²⁶Many seek the ruler’s favour: but a man’s judgment cometh from the LORD.

²⁷An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous: and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
