⁴ The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah
Is riches, and honor, and life.

¹⁷ Let not thy heart envy sinners;
But be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day long:
¹⁸ For surely there is a ^[a]reward;
And thy hope shall not be cut off.
¹⁹ Hear thou, my son, and be wise,
And guide thy heart in the way.

²¹ My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king;
And company not with them that are given to change:

⁵ Evil men understand not justice;
But they that seek Jehovah understand all things.

¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth alway;
But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into ^[a]mischief.

²⁵ The fear of man bringeth a snare;
But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah ^[a]shall be safe.
²⁶ Many seek the ruler’s favor;
But a man’s judgment cometh from Jehovah.
