⁴ Those who forsake the Law praise the wicked,
    but whoever keeps it^[a] fights them.

⁷ Whoever keeps the Law is a discerning son,
    but whoever keeps company with gluttons
        brings shame to his father.

⁹ If someone quits^[a] listening to the Law
    even his prayer is detestable.

¹⁸ Without prophetic vision, people abandon restraint,
    but those who obey the Law are happy.
