⁴ Those who forsake the law ^(A)praise the wicked,
    but those who keep the law ^(B)strive against them.

⁷ The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,
    but ^(A)a companion of gluttons shames his father.

⁹ If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
    even his ^(A)prayer is an abomination.

¹⁸ Where ^(A)there is no prophetic vision the people ^(B)cast off restraint,^[a]
    but blessed is he who ^(C)keeps the law.
