In context
20 for there will be no reward to the evil man; and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
21 My son, fear the Lord and the king. Do not join those who are rebellious:
22 for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both-who knows?
23 These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24 He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him-
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
