19Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20For there will be no future to the evil man, the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21My son, fear thou the LORD and the king, and meddle not with them that are given to change;
22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin from them both?
23These also are sayings of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
24He that saith unto the wicked: 'Thou art righteous', peoples shall curse him, nations shall execrate him;
25But to them that decide justly shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
