Proverbs 29:22-27

22An angry person stirs up dissension, and a wrathful person is abounding in transgression.

23A person’s pride will bring him low, but one who has a lowly spirit will gain honor.

24Whoever shares with a thief is his own enemy; he hears the oath to testify, but does not talk.

25The fear of people becomes a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be set on high.

26Many people seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one receives justice.

27An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous, and the one who lives an upright life is an abomination to the wicked.
