Proverbs 24:23-34 (King James Version)
View In My Bible
23
These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse , nations shall abhor him:
25
But to them that rebuke him shall be delight , and a gooda blessing shall come upon them.
26
Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
27
Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28
Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30
I went by the field of the slothful , and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down .
32
Then I saw , and considered it well :b I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep :
34
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth ; and thy wantc as an armed man.
