Proverbs 29:18-25 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. When there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint, but as for he who guards instruction, happiness is his.

19. By words, a servant is not disciplined, for he will understand, but there is no giving heed.

20. You see a man who is hasty in his words: there is more hope for a fool than him.

21. He who pampers his servant from childhood, arrogance will be his end.

22. A man of anger will stir strife, and the owner of anger, much transgression.

23. The pride of a person will bring him humiliation, and the lowly of spirit will obtain honor.

24. Being a partner with a thief is hating one’s life; a curse he will hear, but not disclose.

25. The fear of a person will lay a snare, but he who trusts in Yahweh will be secure.
