Proverbs 24:28-34
28Do not be a 1witnessH5707 against your neighborH7453 forH2600 noH2600 reasonH2600, And 2do not deceiveH6601 with your lipsH8193.293DoH6213 not sayH559, “I shall doH6213 the sameH3651 to him as he has doneH6213 to me; I will 4repayH7725 the personH376 according to his workH6467.”
30I passedH5674 by the fieldH7704 of 5a lazyH6102 oneH6102, And by the vineyardH3754 of a personH120 6lackingH2638 7senseH3820,31And beholdH2009, it was completelyH3605 8overgrownH5927 with weedsH7057; Its surfaceH6440 was coveredH3680 with 9weedsH2738, 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 like 13a drifterH1980, And your needH4270 like 14an armedH4043 manH376.
