Proverbs 29:23 Context
21He that delicately bringeth vp his seruant from a child, shall haue him become his sonne at the length. 22An angry man stirreth vp strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 23A mans pride shall bring him lowe: but honour shall vpholde the humble in spirit. 24Who so is partner with a thiefe, hateth his owne soule: hee heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 25The feare of man bringeth a snare: but who so putteth his trust in the Lord, shall be safe.
