Proverbs 29:25-27
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
25 The fear of others[a] lays a snare,
but one who trusts in the Lord is secure.
26 Many seek the favor of a ruler,
but it is from the Lord that one gets justice.
27 The unjust are an abomination to the righteous,
but the upright are an abomination to the wicked.
