Proverbs 29:23-27

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.

²⁶Many wait on the favour of rulers; but justice comes to a man from the Lord.

²⁷A righteous man is an abomination to an unrighteous man, and the direct way is an abomination to the sinner.
