Proverbs 29:25-27

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁵ Fearing human beings is a snare;
    but he who trusts in Adonai will be raised high [above danger].

²⁶ Many seek the ruler’s favor,
    but it is from Adonai that each gets justice.

²⁷ An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous,
    but he who lives uprightly is an abomination to the wicked.
