Proverbs 29:22-27

22An angry man stirs up strife, And a hot-tempered and undisciplined man commits many transgressions.

23A man’s pride and sense of self-importance will bring him down, But he who has a humble spirit will obtain honor.

24Whoever is partner with a thief hates his own life; He hears the curse [when swearing an oath to testify], but discloses nothing [and commits perjury by omission].

25The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the Lord will be exalted and safe.

26Many seek the ruler’s favor, But justice for man comes from the Lord.

27An unjust man is repulsive to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way [of the Lord] is repulsive to the wicked.
