Proverbs 24:23-34 - More Sayings Of The Wise
23 These sayings belong to the wise. It is not good to show partiality in judgment. 24 The people curse and the nations abhor the man who says to the wicked, You are righteous. 25 Those who rebuke the wicked are filled with delight. A good blessing will come upon them.
26 He kisses the lips that give the right answer.
27 Prepare your outside work. Make it fit for yourself in the field. After that build your house.
28 Do not witness against your neighbor without cause. Do not deceive with you lips. 29 Do not say: I will do to him as he has done to me. I will render to the man according to his work.
30 I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man lacking understanding. 31 It was all grown over with thorns and nettles, and the wall of stone was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered it well. I looked on it, and received instruction: 33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. 34 Your poverty will come like a robber and your want like an armed man.
