Proverbs 29:25

FearFaithProtection and safetyCourage and strength

23 A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.

24 A partner to a thief hates his own soul; he receives the oath, but does not testify.

The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is set securely on high.

26 Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man receives justice from the LORD.

27 An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.
