Proverbs 29:19-27

19 A servant can't be corrected only by words. Even if he understands, he won't obey.
20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There is more hope for foolish people than for him.
21 If you spoil your servant while he is young, he will bring you sorrow later on.
22 An angry man stirs up fights. And a person who burns with anger commits many sins.
23 If a man is proud, he will be made low. But if he isn't proud, he will be honored.
24 Anyone who helps a thief is his own enemy. When he is put under oath, he doesn't dare give witness.
25 If you are afraid of people, it will trap you. But if you trust in the Lord, he will keep you safe.
26 Many people want to meet a ruler. But only the LORD sees that people are treated fairly.
27 Those who do what is right hate dishonest people. Those who do what is wrong hate honest people.
