A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor. Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify. The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the LORD is kept safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man’s justice comes from the LORD. A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
