Proverbs 24:23-27

²³These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.

²⁴They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.

²⁵They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.

²⁶He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.

²⁷Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
