20 Do you see a man hasty in his words?There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhoodWill have him as a son in the end.
22 An angry man stirs up strife,And a furious man abounds in transgression.
23 A man’s pride will bring him low,But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
24 Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life;He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
25 The fear of man brings a snare,But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler’s favor,But justice for man comes from the Lord.
