Proverbs 29:22-27

22An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin.

23Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.

24If you assist a thief, you only hurt yourself. You are sworn to tell the truth, but you dare not testify.

25Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.

26Many seek the ruler’s favor, but justice comes from the Lord.

27The righteous despise the unjust; the wicked despise the godly.
