Proverbs 29:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³A person’s pride will bring humiliation,
    but one who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.
²⁴To be a partner of a thief is to hate one’s own life;
    one hears the victim’s curse, but discloses nothing.^[a]
²⁵The fear of others^[b] lays a snare,
    but one who trusts in the Lord is secure.
