American Standard Version
"My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change: "
— Proverbs 24:21, American Standard Version
“My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:”
“My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:”
“Fear the LORD, my child, as well as the king, and do not associate with rebels,”
“My son, fear the Lord, and the king: and have nothing to do with detractors.”
“My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:”
“My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:”
Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
These also aresayingsof the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;
