Proverbs 24:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ Don’t envy evil people,
    and don’t be jealous of the wicked.
²⁰ An evil person has nothing to hope for;
    the wicked will die like a flame that is put out.

²¹ My child, respect the Lord and the king.
    Don’t join those people who refuse to obey them.
