Proverbs:24:23-34
rsv@Proverbs:24:23 @ These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging is not good.
rsv@Proverbs:24:24 @ He who says to the wicked, "You are innocent," will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations;
rsv@Proverbs:24:25 @ but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will be upon them.
rsv@Proverbs:24:26 @ He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.
rsv@Proverbs:24:27 @ Prepare your work outside, get everything ready for you in the field; and after that build your house.
rsv@Proverbs:24:28 @ Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
rsv@Proverbs:24:29 @ Do not say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for what he has done."
rsv@Proverbs:24:30 @ I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man without sense;
rsv@Proverbs:24:31 @ and lo, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
rsv@Proverbs:24:32 @ Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction.
rsv@Proverbs:24:33 @ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
rsv@Proverbs:24:34 @ and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
