Proverbs 29:22

AngerConflict and reconciliationSelf-control

20 Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21 A servant pampered from his youth will bring grief in the end.

An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

23 A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.

24 A partner to a thief hates his own soul; he receives the oath, but does not testify.
