Proverbs 24:21-23

Contemporary English Version

²¹ My children, you must respect
    the Lord and the king,
and you must not make friends
with anyone who rebels
    against either of them.
²² Who knows what sudden disaster
the Lord or a ruler
    might bring?

²³ Here are some more sayings
    that make good sense:
When you judge,
    you must be fair.
