Many seek a ruler’s face, but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh.
In context
24Whoever shares with a thief hates his own life; he hears the oath and says nothing. 25Dread of a man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in Yahweh is set on high. 26Many seek a ruler’s face, but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh. 27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, and whoever is upright in his way is an abomination to the wicked.
