Proverbs 24

²¹ My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.

²² For they will bring sudden destruction. Who knows what ruin they can bring?

²³ These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.

²⁵ but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come upon them.
