⁴ To reject the law is to praise the wicked;
    to obey the law is to fight them.

⁷ Young people who obey the law are wise;
    those with wild friends bring shame to their parents.^[a]

⁹ God detests the prayers
    of a person who ignores the law.

¹⁸ When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
    But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
