Proverbs 24:24-29

²⁴Whoso is saying to the wicked, 'Thou art righteous,' Peoples execrate him — nations abhor him.

²⁵And to those reproving it is pleasant, And on them cometh a good blessing.

²⁶Lips he kisseth who is returning straightforward words.

²⁷Prepare in an out-place thy work, And make it ready in the field — go afterwards, Then thou hast built thy house.

²⁸Be not a witness for nought against thy neighbour, Or thou hast enticed with thy lips.

²⁹Say not, 'As he did to me, so I do to him, I render to each according to his work.'
