20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his servant from youthwill have him become a son in the end.
22 An angry man stirs up strife,and a wrathful man abounds in sin.
23 A man’s pride brings him low,but one of lowly spirit gains honour.
24 Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul.He takes an oath, but dares not testify.
25 The fear of man proves to be a snare,but whoever puts his trust in the Lord is kept safe.
26 Many seek the ruler’s favour,but a man’s justice comes from the Lord.
