Proverbs 29:23

Compare all

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.

25 ^aThe fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be¹ safe.
