19. Fret not yourself because of evildoers,and be not envious of the wicked,
20. for the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21. My son, fear the Lord and the king,and do not join with those who do otherwise,
22. for disaster will arise suddenly from them,and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?
23. These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging is not good.
24. Whoever says to the wicked, “You are in the right,” will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,
25. but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,and a good blessing will come upon them.
26. Whoever gives an honest answerkisses the lips.
