20Have you met a person who is quick to answer? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 21Pamper a slave from childhood, and later he will be ungrateful. 22An angry person stirs up a fight, and a hothead does much wrong. 23A person's pride will humiliate him, but a humble spirit gains honor. 24Whoever is a thief's partner hates his own life. He will not testify under oath. 25A person's fear sets a trap [for him], but one who trusts the LORD is safe. 26Many seek an audience with a ruler, but justice for humanity comes from the LORD. 27An unjust person is disgusting to righteous people. A decent person is disgusting to wicked people.
