Proverbs 24:23-34 - More Sayings Of The Wise
23 Also these to the wise. To look upon the face in judgment is not good. 24 He saying to the unjust, Thou art just; peoples shall curse him, and nations shall curse him: 25 And it shall be pleasant to those reproving, and a blessing of good shall come upon them.
26 He shall kiss the lips turning back right words.
27 Prepare thy work without, and make it ready for thee in the field afterwards; and build thy house.
28 Thou shalt not be a witness gratuitously against thy neighbor, and deceive not with thy lips. 29 Thou shalt not say, According to what he did to me, thus will I do to him: I will turn back to the man according to his work.
30 I passed upon the field of the slothful man, and upon the vineyard of the man wanting heart; 31 And behold, it came up all of it with thorns; brambles covered its face, and the wall of its stones was overthrown. 32 And I shall see and set my heart: I looked, I took instruction. 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down: 34 And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.
