Use good sense
Proverbs 29:19-27

Even when servants are smart,
it takes more than words
to make them obey.

There is more hope for a fool
than for someone who speaks
without thinking.

Slaves that you treat kindly
from their childhood
will cause you sorrow.

A person with a quick temper
stirs up arguments
and commits a lot of sins.

Too much pride brings disgrace;
humility leads to honor.

If you take part in a crime
you are your worst enemy,
because even under oath
you can't tell the truth.

Don't fall into the trap
of being a coward-
trust the Lord,
and you will be safe.

Many try to make friends
with a ruler,
but justice comes
from the Lord.

Good people and criminals
can't stand each other.
