Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare: But whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
In context
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, And a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 23 A man's pride shall bring him low: But honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: He heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: But whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. 26 Many seek the ruler's favour; But every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: And he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
