24He that says of the ungodly, He is righteous, Shall be cursed by peoples, and hateful among the nations.
25But they that reprove him shall appear more excellent, And blessing shall come upon them;
26And men will kiss lips that answer well.
27Prepare thy works for thy going forth, And prepare thyself for the field; And come after me, And thou shalt rebuild thy house.
28Be not a false witness against thy fellow citizen, Neither exaggerate with thy lips.
29Say not, As he has treated me, so will I treat him, And I will avenge myself on him for that wherein he has injured me.
30A foolish man is like a farm, And a senseless man is like a vineyard.
