New Testament

Proverbs 29:18-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,but blessed is he who keeps the law.

19. By mere words a servant is not disciplined,for though he understands, he will not respond.

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

21. Whoever pampers his servant from childhoodwill in the end find him his heir.

22. A man of wrath stirs up strife,and one given to anger causes much transgression.

23. One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.
