Proverbs:24:23-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And this thing I say to you that are wise for you to learn :
It is not good to have respect of persons in judgement .
*
He that says of the ungodly ,
He is righteous ,
shall be cursed by peoples ,
and hateful among the nations .
*
But they that reprove him shall appear more excellent ,
and blessing shall come upon them ;
*
and men will kiss lips that answer well .
*
Prepare thy works for thy going forth ,
and prepare thyself for the field ;
and come after me ,
and thou shalt rebuild thine house .
*
Be not a false witness against thy fellow citizen ,
neither exaggerate with thy lips .
*
Say not ,
As he has treated me ,
so will I treat him ,
and I will avenge myself on him for that wherein he has injured me .
*
A foolish man is like a farm ,
and a senseless man is like a vineyard .
*
If thou let him alone ,
he will altogether remain barren and covered with (

Gr .
grass (:

weeds ;
and he becomes destitute ,
and his stone walls are broken down .
*
Afterwards I reflected ,
I looked that I might receive instruction .
*
The sluggard says ,
I slumber a little ,
and I sleep a little ,
and for a little while I fold my arms across my breast .
*
But if thou do this ,
thy poverty will come speedily ;
and thy want like a swift courier .
