Proverbs 29:19-25 New English Translation (NET)

19. A servant cannot be corrected by words,for although he understands, there is no answer.

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

21. If someone pampers his servant from youth,he will be a weakling in the end.

22. An angry person stirs up dissension,and a wrathful person is abounding in transgression.

23. A person’s pride will bring him low,but one who has a lowly spirit will gain honor.

24. Whoever shares with a thief is his own enemy;he hears the oath to testify, but does not talk.

25. The fear of people becomes a snare,but whoever trusts in the Lord will be set on high.
