Those who abandon the teaching praise the wicked, but those who keep the teaching contend with them.
In context
2When a land rebels, its rulers are many, but with one man of understanding and knowledge, order lasts. 3A poor man who oppresses the poor is a driving rain that leaves no bread. 4Those who abandon the teaching praise the wicked, but those who keep the teaching contend with them. 5Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek Yahweh understand everything. 6Better a poor man who walks in his integrity than a man of crooked ways, though he is rich.
