23The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; And an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness.

24The countenance of a wise man is sensible; But the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth.

— Proverbs 17:25 —

26It is not right to punish a righteous man, Nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes.

27He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, And a patient man is wise.
