Context of Proverbs 24:25
23These also are sayings of 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: But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. 26He kisseth the lips that giveth a right answer. 27Prepare thy work without, and make it ready for thee in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
