King James Version
A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
— Proverbs 29:23-1953, King James Version
“A man’s pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul; He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing. The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor; But a man’s judgmentcomethfrom Jehovah. An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked. ”
“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 Yahweh is kept safe. Many seek the ruler's favor, but a man's justice comes from Yahweh. A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.”
“A person’s pride will bring him low, but one who has a lowly spirit will gain honor. Whoever shares with a thief is his own enemy; he hears the oath to testify, but does not talk. The fear of people becomes a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD will be set on high. Many people seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the LORD that one receives justice. An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous, and the one who lives an upright life is an abomination to the wicked.”
“Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit. He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not. He that feareth man shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high. Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord. The just abhor a wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction. ”
“A man's pride will be the cause of his fall, but he who has a gentle spirit will get honour. A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing. The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high. The approval of a ruler is desired by great numbers: but the decision in a man's cause comes from the Lord. An evil man is disgusting to the upright, and he who is upright is disgusting to evil-doers.”
“A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord. An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. ”
Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
