Proverbs 24:24-34

24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him; 25but to them that rebuke [him] shall be delight, and a good blessing cometh upon them. 26He kisseth the lips who giveth a right answer. 27Prepare thy work without, and put thy field in order, and afterwards build thy house. 28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and wouldest thou deceive 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 a sluggard, and by the vineyard of a man void of understanding; 31and lo, it was all grown over with thistles, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and its stone wall was broken down. 32Then I looked, I took it to heart; I saw, I received instruction: 33— A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest! 34So shall thy poverty come [as] a roving plunderer, and thy penury as an armed man.
