4 Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked, but those who heed it resist them.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them.
4 If you desert God's law, you're free to embrace depravity; if you love God's law, you fight for it tooth and nail.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, But such as keep the law contend with them.
4 To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them.
