21My sonne, feare thou the Lord, and the king: and medle not with them that are giuen to change. 22For their calamity shall rise suddenly, and who knoweth the ruine of them both? 23These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to haue respect of persons in iudgement. 24He that sayth vnto the wicked, Thou art righteous, him shall the people curse; nations shall abhorre him: 25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come vpon them.
