Proverbs 29:24-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ The partner of a thief is his own worst enemy.
    He has to testify in court, but he is afraid to say anything.

²⁵ Being afraid of people can get you into trouble.
    But if you trust the Lord, you will be safe.

²⁶ Many people want to be heard by a ruler.
    But fairness comes from the Lord.
