Proverbs 29:24-26

International Standard Version

²⁴ A thief’s accomplice hates himself;
    though testifying under oath,^[a] he reveals nothing.

²⁵ Fearing any human being is a trap,
    but confiding in the Lord keeps anyone safe.

²⁶ Many seek a ruler’s favor,^[b]
    but justice for a man comes from the Lord.
