²¹ My son, fear thou the Lord and the king, and mingle not with them that are given to change;

²² for their calamity shall rise suddenly, and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

²⁴ He that saith unto the wicked, “Thou art righteous”: him shall the people curse; nations shall abhor him.

²⁵ But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
