Proverbs 24:23-28

²³These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging a case at law is not good.

²⁴Whoever says to the wicked person, “You are a righteous person,” will be cursed by peoples and hated by nations.

²⁵But those who discipline the wicked will have delight and gifts of goodness will come to them.

²⁶The one who gives an honest answer gives a kiss on the lips.

²⁷Prepare your outdoor work, and make everything ready for yourself in the field; after that, build your house.

²⁸Do not bear witness against your neighbor without cause and do not deceive with your lips.
