Proverbs

²²An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. ²³A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. ²⁴Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. ²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. ²⁶Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord. ²⁷An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
