Proverbs 24:23-28

²³Here are more things that wise people have said: It is wrong for judges to decide matters unfairly IDM.

²⁴If they say to people who are guilty, “You ◄are innocent/have not done something that is wrong►,” even people in other nations will curse and despise them,

²⁵but if judges say that guilty people must be punished, things will go well for those judges, and ◄they will receive blessings/God will bless them►.

²⁶Those who answer others honestly show that they are truly their friends IDM.

²⁷First, do the work that needs to be done outside your house, and prepare your fields, and then plant things, and after you finish doing that, build your house.

²⁸In the courtroom do not testify against someone when you have no reason to do that, and do not try to deceive people by what you say MTY.
