Proverbs 29:19-27 NIRV

Proverbs 29:19-27

Servants can’t be corrected only by words.

Even if they understand, they won’t obey.

Have you seen someone who speaks without thinking?

There is more hope for foolish people than for that person.

A servant who has been spoiled from youth

will have no respect for you later on.

An angry person stirs up fights.

And a person with a bad temper commits many sins.

Pride brings a person low.

But those whose spirits are low will be honored.

To help a thief is to become your own enemy.

When you go to court, you won’t dare to say anything.

If you are afraid of people, it will trap you.

But if you trust in the Lord, he will keep you safe.

Many people want to meet a ruler.

But only the Lord sees that people are treated fairly.

Those who do what is right hate dishonest people.

Those who do what is wrong hate honest people.
