Proverbs 24:21
Compare all
19 aDo not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the wicked; 
20 For there will be no prospect for the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21 My son, afear the Lord and the king;
Do not associate with those given to change; 
22 For their calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin those two can bring?

Further Sayings of the Wise

aIt is not good to1 show partiality in judgment. 
24 aHe who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
Him the people will curse;
Nations will abhor him.

Proverbs 24:21-22

It is an overall principle. He is saying, "Don't rebel! Have respect for God. Have respect for the authority that He has constituted to rule over the land—the king!" The warning can be taken two ways. One: when one rebels, the ruler and the rebel are ruined; "who knows the ruin those two can bring?" The other way is that the rebel may be ruined by the both of them. God wants us to know that there is no liberty in that direction.
