Since we have taken an oath of loyalty to the king, and it is not right for us to witness his dishonor, we have sent to inform the king

if they dishonor My statutes
and do not keep My commands,

The wise will inherit honor,
but He holds up fools to dishonor.

He will get a beating and dishonor,
and his disgrace will never be removed.

The one who corrects a mocker
will bring dishonor on himself;
the one who rebukes a wicked man will get hurt.

When a wicked man comes, contempt also does,
and along with dishonor, disgrace.

Drive out a mocker, and conflict goes too;
then quarreling and dishonor will cease.

The nations have heard of your dishonor,
and your outcry fills the earth,
because warrior stumbles against warrior
and together both of them have fallen.
