Verse
Proverbs - ch 24 v 21 - 34
- My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.
- For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
- These things also come from the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
- He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;
- but to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing cometh upon them.
- He kisseth the lips who giveth a right answer.
- Prepare thy work without, and put thy field in order, and afterwards build thy house.
- Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and wouldest thou deceive with thy lips?
- Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me, I will render to the man according to his work.
- I went by the field of a sluggard, and by the vineyard of a man void of understanding;
- and lo, it was all grown over with thistles, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and its stone wall was broken down.
- Then I looked, I took it to heart; I saw, I received instruction:
- -- A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest!
- So shall thy poverty come as a roving plunderer, and thy penury as an armed man.
