Proverbs 29:22-24

The Voice

²² A hot-head provokes quarrels,
    and one mastered by anger commits all kinds of sins.
²³ A person’s pride brings him down,
    but one of humble spirit has a firm hold on honor and respect.
²⁴ Anyone who teams up with a thief must despise his own life,
    for he is bound by an oath to tell the truth and yet refuses.^[a]
