28Do not be a 1witnessH5707 against your neighborH7453 withoutH2600 causeH2600, And 2do not deceiveH6601 with your lipsH8193.293DoH6213 not sayH559, “ThusH3651 I shall doH6213 to him as he has doneH6213 to me; I will 4renderH7725 to the manH376 according to his workH6467.”
30I passedH5674 by the fieldH7704 of the sluggardH6102 And by the vineyardH3754 of the manH120 5lackingH2638 6senseH3820,31And beholdH2009, it was completelyH3605 7overgrownH5927 with thistlesH7057; Its surfaceH6440 was coveredH3680 with 89nettlesH2738, And its stoneH68 10wallH1447 was brokenH2040 downH2040.32When I sawH2372, I 11reflectedH7896H3820 upon it; I lookedH7200, and receivedH3947 instructionH4148.33“12A littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, A littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to restH7901,”34Then your povertyH7389 will comeH935 as 13a robberH1980 And your wantH4270 like 14an armedH4043 manH376.
