Proverbs 29:25-27

Modern English Version

²⁵ The fear of man brings a snare,
    but whoever puts his trust in the Lord will be safe.

²⁶ Many seek the ruler’s favor,
    but every man’s judgment comes from the Lord.

²⁷ An unjust man is an abomination to the just,
    and he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
