  The fear of man bringeth a snare: but he who putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.  

 

 

--

  An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
