Proverbs 29:23-27

²³A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honour.

²⁴Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify.

²⁵The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the LORD is kept safe.

²⁶Many seek the ruler’s favour, but a man’s justice comes from the LORD.

²⁷A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
