Proverbs 24:23-34

23These also aresayingsof the wise.

To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous,Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;25But to them that rebukehim shall be delight,And a good blessing shall come upon them.26He kisseth the lipsWho giveth a right answer.27Prepare thy work without,And make it ready for thee in the field;And afterwards build thy house.28Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause;And deceive not with thy lips.29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me;I will render to the man according to his work.30I went by the field of the sluggard,And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns,The face thereof was covered with nettles,And the stone wall thereof was broken down.32Then I beheld, and considered well;I saw, and received instruction:33Yeta little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to sleep;34So shall thy poverty come as a robber,And thy want as an armed man.
