Proverbs 29:18-27

18Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.

19Servants cannot be corrected by mere words; though they understand, they will not respond.

20Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.

21A servant pampered from youth will turn out to be insolent.

22An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.

23Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.

24The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies; they are put under oath and dare not testify.

25Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

26Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the LORD that one gets justice. 27The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.
