23 A man’s pride shall bring him low, but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whosoever is partner with a thief hates his own soul; he hears cursing, and does not disclose it.
25 The fear of man brings a snare, but whosoever puts his trust in the Lord shall be lifted up.
26 Many seek the ruler’s favour, but each man’s judgment comes 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.
