22 For their calamity arises suddenly, And who knows the ruin of both of them?
23 These also are for the wise: It is not good to show partiality in right-ruling.
24 He who says to the wrong, “You are righteous” – peoples curse him, Nations despise him.
25 But those who rebuke the wrong, It is pleasant, and a good blessing comes on them.
26 He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.
27 Prepare your outside work, And make it fit for yourself in the field; Then you shall build your house.
28 Do not witness against your neighbour without cause, And do not deceive with your lips.
