Proverbs 24:22 in context

The verses around it, from Proverbs 24.

18 or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.

19 Do not fret over evildoers, and do not be envious of the wicked.

20 For the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.

21 My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.

22 For they will bring sudden destruction. Who knows what ruin they can bring?

23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.

24 Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”—peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;

25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come upon them.

26 An honest answer given is like a kiss on the lips.
