⁴ They that forsake the law praise the wicked;
But such as keep the law contend with them.
⁵ Evil men understand not justice;
But they that seek Jehovah understand all things.

⁹ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.

¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth alway;
But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into ^[a]mischief.

²³ He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor
Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
