18. Lest the Lord 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 will be no reward to the evil man; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21. My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22. For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the destruction of them both?
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.
