22 for suddenly their destruction will overtake them,and who knows the ruinous judgment both the Lord and the king can bring?
23 These sayings also are from the wise:To show partiality in judgment is terrible:
24 The one who says to the guilty, “You are innocent,”peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him.
25 But there will be delight for those who convict the guilty,and a pleasing blessing will come on them.
26 Like a kiss on the lipsis the one who gives an honest answer.
27 Establish your work outside and get your fields ready;afterward build your house.
28 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,and do not deceive with your words.
