²¹ My son, ^[a](A)fear Yahweh and the king;
Do not associate with those who change,
²² For suddenly their ^(B)disaster will rise,
And who knows the upheaval that comes from both of them?

²⁴ He ^(A)who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
^(B)Peoples will curse him, nations will be indignant with him;
²⁵ But ^(C)to those who reprove the wicked, it will be pleasant,
And a good blessing will come upon them.
