Proverbs 24:23-34

23These things also belong to the wiseH2450. It is not goodH2896 to have respectH5234 of personsH6440 in judgmentH4941. 24He that saithH559 to the wickedH7563, Thou art righteousH6662; him shall the peopleH5971 curseH5344, nationsH3816 shall abhorH2194 him: 25But to them that rebukeH3198 him shall be delightH5276, and a goodH2896 blessingH1293 shall comeH935 upon them.1 26Every man shall kissH5401 his lipsH8193 that givethH7725 a rightH5228 answerH1697.2

27PrepareH3559 thy workH4399 outsideH2351, and make it fitH6257 for thyself in the fieldH7704; and afterwardsH310 buildH1129 thy houseH1004.

28Be not a witnessH5707 against thy neighbourH7453 without causeH2600; and deceiveH6601 not with thy lipsH8193. 29SayH559 not, I will doH6213 so to him as he hath doneH6213 to me: I will renderH7725 to the manH376 according to his workH6467.

30I wentH5674 by the fieldH7704 of the slothfulH376H6102, and by the vineyardH3754 of the manH120 voidH2638 of understandingH3820; 31And, lo, it was all grown overH5927 with thornsH7063, and nettlesH2738 had coveredH3680 the faceH6440 of it, and its stoneH68 wallH1444 was broken downH2040. 32Then I sawH2372, and considered it wellH7896H3820: I lookedH7200 upon it, and receivedH3947 instructionH4148.3 33Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901: 34So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as one that travellethH1980; and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376.4
