Proverbs 29:25

29:25 The fear of people becomes a snare,

but whoever trusts in the Lord will be set on high.

John 12:42-43

12:42 Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not confess Jesus to be the Christ, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue. 12:43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
