“Time Dominum, fili mi, et regem, et cum detractoribus non commiscearis :”
“My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: them: Heb. changers”
“My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.”
“My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious:”
“My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:”
Detractors. Or those who speak ill of God or the king. (Calmet) — Protestants, “that are given to change,” (Haydock) and relapses.
23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. 24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. 26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
