²¹ ¶ My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not meddle with those that are given to change,

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

²⁴ He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the peoples curse, nations shall abhor him:

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