¹⁷ Do not let your heart envy^(A) sinners,
    but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.
¹⁸ There is surely a future hope for you,
    and your hope will not be cut off.^(B)

²¹ Fear the Lord and the king,^(A) my son,
    and do not join with rebellious officials,

³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
