Proverbs 24:21-31 (Hebrew Names Version)
View In My Bible
21
My son, fear the LORD and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:
22
For their calamity will rise suddenly; The destruction from them both -- who knows?
23
These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24
He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" Peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him --
25
But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, And a rich blessing will come on them.
26
An honest answer Is like a kiss on the lips.
27
Prepare your work outside. Make it ready for you in the field. Afterwards, build your house.
28
Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don't deceive with your lips.
29
Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
30
I went by the field of the sluggard, By the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31
Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.
