Proverbs 29:23-25
The Voice

23 A person’s pride brings him down,
    but one of humble spirit has a firm hold on honor and respect.
24 Anyone who teams up with a thief must despise his own life,
    for he is bound by an oath to tell the truth and yet refuses.[a]
25 If you fear other people, you are walking into a dangerous trap;
    but if you trust in the Eternal, you will be safe.
