Proverbs 29:20-27

20 Do you see people who are quick to speak? There is more hope for fools than for them.
21 Pamper servants from a young age, and later on there will be trouble.
22 Angry people stir up conflict; hotheads cause much offense.
23 Pride lays people low, but those of humble spirit gain honor.
24 Those who share plunder with thieves hate themselves; even under oath, they don't testify.
25 People are trapped by their fear of others; those who trust the LORD are secure.
26 Many seek access to the ruler, but justice comes from the LORD.
27 The unjust person is disgusting to the righteous; the straight path is disgusting to the wicked.
