Proverbs 24:21-23
American Standard Version
21 My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king;
And company not with them that are given to change:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly;
And the destruction [a]from them both, who knoweth it?
23 These also are sayings of the wise.
To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
