Proverbs

²³These also are sayings of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good. ²⁴He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him: ²⁵But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. ²⁶He kisseth the lips that giveth a right answer. ²⁷Prepare thy work without, and make it ready for thee in the field; and afterwards build thine house. ²⁸Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. ²⁹Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.
