Proverbs 29:25-27

The Message

²⁵ The fear of human opinion disables;
    trusting in God protects you from that.

²⁶ Everyone tries to get help from the leader,
    but only God will give us justice.

²⁷ Good people can’t stand the sight of deliberate evil;
    the wicked can’t stand the sight of well-chosen goodness.
