22 An angry man stirs up dissention, and a hotheaded one commits many transgressions.
23 A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will gain honor.
24 An accomplice of a thief is his own enemy. He hears the oath but says nothing.
25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but one who trusts in Adonai will be kept safe.
26 Many seek an audience with a ruler, but from Adonai one receives justice.
27 The righteous detest the unjust, and the wicked detest the upright.
