21My son, fear thou the LORD and the king; And mingle not with them that are given to change!
22For their calamity shall rise up suddenly, And their ruin, coming from them both, in a moment.
23These also are words of the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24He that saith to the wicked, “Thou art righteous,” Him shall the people curse; Nations shall abhor him.
25But it shall be well with them that punish him, And the blessing of prosperity shall come upon them.
26He that giveth a right answer Kisseth the lips.
