⁴ Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
    but those who keep the law strive against them.

⁷ He who keeps the law is a wise son,
    but a companion of gluttons shames his father.

⁹ If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
    even his prayer is an abomination.

¹⁸ Where there is no prophecy the people cast off restraint,
    but blessed is he who keeps the law.
