19. Don’t let those who are evil upset you, and don’t be jealous of them.
20. They have no hope. Their light will burn out.
21. Son, respect the Lord and the king, and don’t join with those who are against them,
22. because people like that can quickly be destroyed. You have no idea how much trouble God and the king can make for their enemies.
23. These are also words from the wise: A judge must be fair. He must not support some people simply because he knows them.
