19. Do not fret because of evil men,nor be envious of the wicked;
20. for there will be no reward to the evil man;the candle of the wicked will be put out.
21. My son, fear the Lord and the king;and do not meddle with those who are given to change;
22. for their calamity will rise suddenly,and who knows the ruin of them both?
23. These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
24. He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”him the people will curse; nations will abhor him.
