27 Fearing the Lord bringswisdom and education.He is pleased with faithfulnessand gentleness.
28 Don’t disobey the fear of the Lord,and don’t approach himwith a divided heart.
29 Don’t give people reasonto call you a hypocrite,and pay attention to what you say.
30 Don’t exalt yourself,or else you might falland bring dishonor to yourself.The Lord will reveal your secrets,and he will overthrow youin the middle of the congregation,because you didn’t comewith proper regard for the Lordand your heart was full of insincerity.
