New Testament

Proverbs 29:20-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. Have you seen a man rushing to speak? Foolishness has more hope than his correction.

21. Whoever nurtures his servant delicately from childhood, afterwards will find him defiant.

22. A short-tempered man provokes quarrels. And whoever is easily angered is more likely to sin.

23. Humiliation follows the arrogant. And glory shall uphold the humble in spirit.

24. Whoever participates with a thief hates his own soul; for he listens to his oath and does not denounce him.

25. Whoever fears man will quickly fall. Whoever hopes in the Lord shall be lifted up.

26. Many demand the face of the leader. But the judgment of each one proceeds from the Lord.

27. The just abhor an impious man. And the impious abhor those who are on the right way. By keeping the word, the son shall be free from perdition.
