Proverbs 29:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ The fear of others will prove to be a snare,
    but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure.
²⁶ Many seek the favor of a ruler,
    but it is the Lord who administers justice.
²⁷ A sinful man is abhorrent to the upright,
    and one who leads a holy life is hated by the wicked.
