Proverbs 24:22

18lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

19Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;

20for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

21My son, fear the LORD and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious,

22for their calamity will rise suddenly. Who knows what destruction may come from them both?

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

24He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—

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

26An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
