20 Do you see a man who is 1hasty in his words? There is 2more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his slave from childhood Will in the end find him to be a son.
22 An 3angry man stirs up strife, And a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
23 A man's 4pride will bring him low, But a 5humble spirit will obtain honor.
24 He who is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He 6hears the oath but tells nothing.
25 The 7fear of man brings a snare, But he who 8trusts in the LORD will be exalted.
26 9Many seek the ruler's favor, But 10justice for man comes from the LORD.
27 An 11unjust man is abominable to the righteous, And he who is 12upright in the way is abominable to the wicked.

Proverbs 29:20-27 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 1 KINGS 16

This chapter contains a prophecy of the ruin of the family of Baasha, and an account of his death, 1Ki 16:1-7, and of his son's reigning in his stead two years, who was slain by Zimri one of his captains, 1Ki 16:8-14, and who reigned but seven days, 1Ki 16:15-20, and the people being divided between Tibni and Omri, the party for the latter prevailed, and he was made king, and reigned twelve years, 1Ki 16:21-28, and was succeeded by his son Ahab, a very wicked prince, 1Ki 16:29-33, and the chapter is concluded with the rebuilding of Jericho, 1Ki 16:34.
