Proverbs 29:22-27 New King James Version (NKJV)
22 An angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.
23 A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
24 Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
He [a]swears to tell the truth but reveals nothing.
25 The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be [b]safe.
26 Many seek the ruler’s [c]favor,
But justice for man comes from the Lord.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
[a] Proverbs 29:24 Lit. hears the adjuration or oath
[b] Proverbs 29:25 secure, lit. set on high
[c] Proverbs 29:26 Lit. face
