Proverbs 29:24-26
New Catholic Bible
24 The accomplice of a thief is his own enemy,
for he hears the curse[a] but refuses to answer.
25 The fear of others will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure.
26 Many seek the favor of a ruler,
but it is the Lord who administers justice.
