Proverbs 29:26

Verse 26 of 27. The 29th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

26Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord.

27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
