He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
22
A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
23
Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
24
He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
25
He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
