Context of Proverbs 29:22

20Do you know anyone who speaks before he thinks? A foolish person is more likely to become wise than that person. 21You may give a servant everything that he wants from his birth. But if you do that, he will be useless in the end. An angry person causes arguments. When he is angry, he causes many sins to happen. 23A person's pride will bring shame to him. But a humble person will receive honour. 24If you help a robber, you are bringing punishment on yourself. If you tell the truth in court, or if you keep quiet, you will receive your punishment.
