Proverbs 24:20-34
Proverbs 24:20-34 NASB2020
For there will be no future for the evil person; The lamp of the wicked will be put out. ¶My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not get involved with those of high rank, For their disaster will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin that can come from both of them? ¶These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good. One who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” Peoples will curse him, nations will scold him; But for those who rebuke the wicked there will be delight, And a good blessing will come upon them. One who gives a right answer Kisses the lips. ¶Prepare your work outside, And make it ready for yourself in the field; Afterward, then, build your house. ¶Do not be a witness against your neighbor for no reason, And do not deceive with your lips. Do not say, “I shall do the same to him as he has done to me; I will repay the person according to his work.” ¶I passed by the field of a lazy one, And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense, And behold, it was completely overgrown with weeds; Its surface was covered with weeds, And its stone wall was broken down. When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, and received instruction. “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,” Then your poverty will come like a drifter, And your need like an armed man.
