17. Don’t be happy when your enemy has troubles. Don’t be glad when they fall.
18. The Lord will see this, and he might be upset with you and decide not to punish your enemy.
19. Don’t let those who are evil upset you, and don’t be jealous of them.
20. They have no hope. Their light will burn out.
21. Son, respect the Lord and the king, and don’t join with those who are against them,
22. because people like that can quickly be destroyed. You have no idea how much trouble God and the king can make for their enemies.
