Proverbs 24:25-32

²⁵They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.

²⁶He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.

²⁷Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.

²⁸Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.

²⁹Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.

³⁰I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:

³¹And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.

³²Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.
