⁴ They that forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.

⁷ Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son, but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

⁹ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

¹⁸ Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
