Proverbs 29:25-27

Amplified Bible

²⁵ 
The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the Lord will be exalted and safe.
²⁶ 
Many seek the ruler’s favor,
But justice for man comes from the Lord.
²⁷ 
An unjust man is repulsive to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way [of the Lord] is repulsive to the wicked.
