Proverbs 24:24-34

24He 1who saysH559 to the wickedH7563, “You are righteousH6662,” 2PeoplesH5971 will curseH6895 him, nationsH3816 will abhorH2194 him;25But 3to those who rebukeH3198 the wicked will be delightH5276, And a goodH2896 blessingH1293 will comeH935 upon them.26He kissesH5401 the lipsH8193 Who givesH7725 4a rightH5228 answerH1697.

27PrepareH3559 your workH4399 outsideH2351 And 5makeH6257 it readyH6257 for yourself in the fieldH7704; AfterwardsH310, then, buildH1129 your houseH1004.

28Do not be a 6witnessH5707 against your neighborH7453 withoutH2600 causeH2600, And 7do not deceiveH6601 with your lipsH8193.298DoH6213 not sayH559, “ThusH3651 I shall doH6213 to him as he has doneH6213 to me; I will 9renderH7725 to the manH376 according to his workH6467.”

30I passedH5674 by the fieldH7704 of the sluggardH6102 And by the vineyardH3754 of the manH120 10lackingH2638 11senseH3820,31And beholdH2009, it was completelyH3605 12overgrownH5927 with thistlesH7057; Its surfaceH6440 was coveredH3680 with 1314nettlesH2738, And its stoneH68 15wallH1447 was brokenH2040 downH2040.32When I sawH2372, I 16reflectedH7896H3820 upon it; I lookedH7200, and receivedH3947 instructionH4148.33“17A littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, A littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to restH7901,”34Then your povertyH7389 will comeH935 as 18a robberH1980 And your wantH4270 like 19an armedH4043 manH376.
