Proverbs
Chapters 24:22-28
New International Version Anglicized
22for those two will send sudden destruction on them,and who knows what calamities they can bring?
23These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good:
24whoever says to the guilty, ‘You are innocent,’will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,and rich blessing will come on them.
26An honest answeris like a kiss on the lips.
27Put your outdoor work in orderand get your fields ready;after that, build your house.
28Do not testify against your neighbour without cause –would you use your lips to mislead?
