Proverbs 24:21 in context

  1. 19Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers,
    neither be envious of the wicked;
  2. 20for there will be no reward to the evil man.
    The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
  3. 21My son, fear Yahweh and the king.
    Don’t join those who are rebellious;
  4. 22for their calamity will rise suddenly.
    Who knows what destruction may come from them both?
  5. 23These also are sayings of the wise.
    To show partiality in judgment is not good.
