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 honor.
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 favor,but a man’s justice comes from the Lord.
27 A dishonest man detests the righteous,and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
