Proverbs 28:4

World English Bible

⁴Those who forsake the law praise the wicked;
but those who keep the law contend with them.

Proverbs 28:4

New Living Translation

⁴To reject the law is to praise the wicked;
to obey the law is to fight them.

⁷Whoever keeps the law is a wise son;
but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.

⁷Young people who obey the law are wise;
those with wild friends bring shame to their parents.^[a]

⁹He who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer is an abomination.

⁹God detests the prayers
of a person who ignores the law.

¹⁸Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
but one who keeps the law is blessed.

¹⁸When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
