New Testament

Proverbs 29:22-27 New International Version (NIV)

22. An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.

23. Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.

24. The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies; they are put under oath and dare not testify.

25. Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

26. Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one gets justice.

27. The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.
