²¹ My son, fear thou the Lord and the king:
and meddle not with them that are given to change:
²² for their calamity shall rise suddenly;
and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

²⁴ He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous;
him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
²⁵ but to them that rebuke him shall be delight,
and a good blessing shall come upon them.
