Proverbs 29:25-27
Revised Standard Version

25 The fear of man lays a snare,
    but he who trusts in the Lord is safe.
26 Many seek the favor of a ruler,
    but from the Lord a man gets justice.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
    but he whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
