New King James Version

Proverbs 24:19-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

19. Do not fret because of evildoers,Nor be envious of the wicked;

20. For there will be no prospect for the evil man;The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

21. My son, fear the Lord and the king;Do not associate with those given to change;

22. For their calamity will rise suddenly,And who knows the ruin those two can bring?

23. These things also belong to the wise:It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
