18 Lest Jehovah see, and [it be] evil in His eyes, And He hath turned from off him His anger.
19 Fret not thyself at evil doers, Be not envious at the wicked,
20 For there is not a posterity to the evil, The lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
21 Fear Jehovah, my son, and the king, With changers mix not up thyself,
22 For suddenly doth their calamity rise, And the ruin of them both--who knoweth!
23 These also are for the wise: --To discern faces in judgment is not good.
24 Whoso is saying to the wicked, `Thou [art] righteous,' Peoples execrate him-- nations abhor him.
