21. My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.
22. For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23. These things also come from the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24. He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;
25. but to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing cometh upon them.
26. He kisseth the lips who giveth a right answer.
