Proverbs 29:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ Pride brings a person low.
    But those whose spirits are low will be honored.

²⁴ To help a thief is to become your own enemy.
    When you go to court, you won’t dare to say anything.

²⁵ If you are afraid of people, it will trap you.
    But if you trust in the Lord, he will keep you safe.
