Proverbs 29:23-25

New Living Translation

²³Pride ends in humiliation,
while humility brings honor.

²⁴If you assist a thief, you only hurt yourself.
You are sworn to tell the truth, but you dare not testify.

²⁵Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the Lord means safety.

Proverbs 29:23-25

²⁴The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies;
they are put under oath and dare not testify.^(C)

but whoever trusts in the Lord^(E) is kept safe.^(F)
