Proverbs 29:24-26

Authorized (King James) Version

²⁴Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul:
he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

²⁶Many seek the ruler’s favour;
but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord.
