Proverbs 24:18-28

New Revised Standard NRS

18 or else the Lord will see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from them.

19 Do not fret because of evildoers. Do not envy the wicked;

20 for the evil have no future; the lamp of the wicked will go out.

21 My child, fear the Lord and the king, and do not disobey either of them;

22 for disaster comes from them suddenly, and who knows the ruin that both can bring?

23 These also are sayings of the wise: Partiality in judging is not good.

24 Whoever says to the wicked, "You are innocent," will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations;

25 but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them.

26 One who gives an honest answer gives a kiss on the lips.

27 Prepare your work outside, get everything ready for you in the field; and after that build your house.

28 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.

New International Version NIV

18 or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.

19 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,

20 for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

21 Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,

22 for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?

23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good:

24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.

25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.

26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.

27 Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.
