*
These also are sayings of the wise .
To show partiality in judgment is not good .
*
He who says to the wicked , "
You are righteous ";
peoples shall curse him ,
and nations shall abhor him --
*
but it will go well with those who convict the guilty ,
and a rich blessing will come on them .
*
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips .
*
Prepare your work outside ,
and get your fields ready .
Afterwards ,
build your house .
*
Don '
t be a witness against your neighbor without cause .
Don '
t deceive with your lips .
*
Don '
t say , "
I will do to him as he has done to me ;
I will render to the man according to his work ."
*
I went by the field of the sluggard ,
by the vineyard of the man void of understanding ;
*
Behold ,
it was all grown over with thorns .
Its surface was covered with nettles ,
and its stone wall was broken down .
*
Then I saw ,
and considered well .
I saw ,
and received instruction :
*
a little sleep ,
a little slumber ,
a little folding of the hands to sleep ;
*
so your poverty will come as a robber ,
and your want as an armed man .
