Jesus asked the religious leaders of His day, "How can you believe when you accept each other's praise and do not look for the praise that comes from the only God?" (John 5:44)
And, "Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it for fear that they would be thrown out of the synagogue. For they loved the praise of people more than the praise of God." (John 12:42-43)
Paul says, " Am I now trying to win the approval of people or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be Christ's servant." (Galatians 1:10)
There are others, but these seem to be the most pertinent. Hope they help!

there are some similar things.. not sure what your looking for
I think the previous poster on Mark 7 same as Matthew 15 I think... might have hit the nail on the head, but a few others might be
Jesus rebuked Peter saying you are seeing this from man;s point of view not God's when Peter said Jesus woul d never die as he foretold
We should serve God not men, Peter and John told the relgious leader in Acts when they forbid them form preaching the gospel
2 Peter 1:20
knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation.
might view interpretaion a mere opinion of someone as opposed to God;s intent
Colossians 2:8
8See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits[a] of the world, and not according to Christ.

Mr 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Mr 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Mr 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Maybe that is what you are searching for.
