Proverbs 29:22

Compare all

20 Do you see a man hasty in his words?
^aThere is more hope for a fool than for him.

21 He who pampers his servant from childhood
Will have him as a son in the end.

22 ^aAn angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.

23 ^aA 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;
^aHe¹ swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.

Proverbs 29:22

An angry man stirreth up strife - His spirit begets its like wherever he goes.

And a furious man aboundeth in transgression - His furious spirit is always carrying him into extremes, and each of these is a transgression.
