Proverbs 29:23-25
The Message

23 Pride lands you flat on your face;
    humility prepares you for honors.

24 Befriend an outlaw
    and become an enemy to yourself.
When the victims cry out,
    you’ll be included in their curses
    if you’re a coward to their cause in court.

25 The fear of human opinion disables;
    trusting in God protects you from that.
