Proverbs 29:20-27 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

26. Many are those who seek the favor of a ruler, but from Yahweh one obtains justice.

27. A man of injustice is an abomination to the righteous, but the upright is an abomination to the wicked.
