Proverbs 29:25

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

KJV

Qui timet hominem cito corruet ; qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur.

Vulgate

φοβηθέντες καὶ αἰσχυνθέντες ἀνθρώπους ὑπεσκελίσθησαν· ὁ δὲ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ Κυρίῳ εὐφρανθήσεται. ἀσέβεια ἀνδρὶ δίδωσιν σφάλμα, ὃς δὲ πέποιθεν ἐπὶ τῷ δεσπότῃ σωθήσεται.

LXX

The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.
