²¹ My son, fear Yahweh and the king.
    Don’t join those who are rebellious;
²² for their calamity will rise suddenly.
    Who knows what destruction may come from them both?

²⁴ He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
    peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—
²⁵ but it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
    and a rich blessing will come on them.
