1
For there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
2
My son, fear the LORD and the king; And do not associate with those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary],
3
For their tragedy will rise suddenly, And who knows the punishment that both [the LORD and the king] will bring on the rebellious?
4
These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
5
He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous," Peoples will curse him, nations will denounce him;
6
But to those [honorable judges] who rebuke the wicked, it will go well with them and they will find delight, And a good blessing will come upon them.
7
He kisses the lips [and wins the hearts of people] Who gives a right and straightforward answer.
8
Prepare your work outside And get it ready for yourself in the field; [2] Afterward build your house and establish a home.
