18. Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.
19. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
20. For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21. My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:
22. For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
23. These also are sayings of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
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 shall come upon them.
26. He kisseth the lips Who giveth a right answer.
27. Prepare thy work without, And make it ready for thee in the field; And afterwards build thy house.
28. Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; And deceive not with thy lips.
29. Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.
