Proverbs 29:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³A man’s pride will ruin him.
But a person who is humble will be honored.

²⁴The partner of a thief is his own worst enemy.
He has to testify in court, but he is afraid to say anything.

²⁵Being afraid of people can get you into trouble.
But if you trust the Lord, you will be safe.
