Proverbs 29:26 (BSB)
Context Reading
24A partner to a thief hates his own soul; he receives the oath but does not testify. 25The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is set securely on high. 26Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man receives justice from the LORD. 27An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.
