Proverbs 24:26-34 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

26. He kisseth the lips that giveth a right answer.

27. Prepare thy work without, and make it ready for thee in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

28. Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

29. Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.

30. I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

31. And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, the face thereof was covered with nettles, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

32. Then I beheld, and considered well: I saw, and received instruction.

33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

34. So shall thy poverty come as a robber; and thy want as an armed man.
