19Rejoice not in evil-doers, neither be envious of sinners.
20For the evil man shall have no posterity: and the light of the wicked shall be put out.
21My son, fear God and the king; and do not disobey either of them.
22For they will suddenly punish the ungodly, and who can know the vengeance inflicted by both? A son that keeps the commandment shall escape destruction; for such an one has fully received it. Let no falsehood be spoken by the king from the tongue; yes, let no falsehood proceed from his tongue. The king's tongue is a sword, and not one of flesh; and whoever shall be given up to it shall be destroyed: for if his wrath should be provoked, he destroys men with cords, and devours men's bones, and burns them up as a flame, so that they are not even fit to be eaten by the young eagles. My son, reverence my words, and receive them, and repent.
23And this thing I say to you that are wise for you to learn: It is not good to have respect of persons in judgement.
24He that says of the ungodly, He is righteous, shall be cursed by peoples, and hateful amongst the nations.
25But they that reprove him shall appear more excellent, and blessing shall come upon them;
26and men will kiss lips that answer well.
