Proverbs 29:19-27

King James Version

¹⁹ A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

²⁰ Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

²¹ He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

²² An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

²³ A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

²⁴ Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

²⁵ The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

²⁶ Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.

²⁷ An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
