Proverbs 24:23-34
Proverbs 24:23-34 NASB2020
¶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.
