Verse
Proverbs - ch 24 v 21 - 34
- My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:
- for their calamity will rise suddenly; the destruction from them both--who knows?
- These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
- He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him--
- but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
- An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
- Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
- Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don't deceive with your lips.
- Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
- I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
- Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
- Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
- a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep;
- so your poverty will come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.
