Proverbs 29:20-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
20Do you see a person who is hasty with his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 21One who pampers his slave from childhood Will in the end find him to be rebellious. 22An angry person stirs up strife, And a hot-tempered person abounds in wrongdoing. 23A person’s pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor. 24One who is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He hears the oath but tells nothing. 25The fear of man brings a snare, But one who trusts in the Lord will be protected. 26Many seek the ruler’s favor, But justice for mankind comes from the Lord. 27An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous, And one who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.King James Version

Chapter 29
20Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 21Whoever pampers his servant from childhood will in the end find him his heir. 22 A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression. 23 One 's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. 24The partner of a thief hates his own life; he hears the curse, but discloses nothing. 25 The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. 26Many seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the Lord that a man gets justice. 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.New International Version
