24. He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”him the people will curse; nations will abhor him.
25. But to those who rebuke him will be delight,and a good blessing will come upon them.
26. Every man will kiss his lipsthat gives a right answer.
27. Prepare your work outside,and make it fit for yourself in the field;and afterwards build your house.
28. Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,and do not deceive with your lips.
