There is more hope for a fool than for him. 029:021 He who pampers his servant from youth will have him become a son in the end. 029:022 An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin. 029:023 A man's pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor. 029:024 Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify. 029:025 The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe. 029:026 Many seek the ruler's favor, but a man's justice comes from Yahweh. 029:027 A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked. 030:001 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle: the man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal: 030:002 "Surely I am the most ignorant man, and don't have a man's understanding. 030:003 I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One. 030:004 Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended?
