Proverbs 24:20-24

²⁰For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

²¹My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.

²²For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?

²³These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.

²⁴They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.
