In context
17Be not very wicked; and be not stubborn: Lest thou shouldest die before thy time.
18It is well for thee to hold fast by this; Also by this defile not thy hand: For to them that fear God all things shall come forth well.

20For there is not a righteous man in the earth, Who will do good, and not sin.
21Also take no heed To all the words which ungodly men shall speak; Lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee.
