Proverbs 29:20-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. Have you seen a man hasty in his words? There is more expectancy for a fool than for him.

21. He who deals tenderly With his servant from youth, Has him as a son in the end.

22. A man of displeasure stirs up strife, And a master of rage has many a transgression.

23. The pride of man brings him low, But the humble in spirit obtains esteem.

24. He who shares with a thief hates his own life; He hears an oath, but does not report.

25. The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in יהוה is set on high.

26. Many seek the face of a ruler, But right-ruling for man comes from יהוה.

27. An unrighteous man Is an abomination to the righteous, And he who is straight in the way Is an abomination to the wrong.
