27
For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction, and he delights in fidelity and meekness.
28
Do not disobey the fear of the Lord; do not approach him with a divided mind.
29
Be not a hypocrite in men's sight, and keep watch over your lips.
30
Do not exalt yourself lest you fall, and thus bring dishonor upon yourself. The Lord will reveal your secrets and cast you down in the midst of the congregation, because you did not come in the fear of the Lord, and your heart was full of deceit.
