24 Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify.
25 The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.
26 Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh.
27 A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
