Proverbs 29:22-27 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.
