Proverbs 24:23-29

²³These things also are for the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.

²⁴Him that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, will the people denounce, him will nations hold accursed;

²⁵But to those that punish delight shall be given, and upon them shall come the blessing of the good.

²⁶Men will kiss the lips of him that giveth a proper answer.

²⁷Prepare without thy work, and make it fit in the field for thyself: and afterward build thy house.

²⁸Be not without cause a witness against thy neighbor; for wouldst thou beguile with thy lips?

²⁹Say not, As he hath done to me so will I do to him: I will recompense every man according to his doing.
