Proverbs 24:24-34 ▼

24 He that saith to the vngodly thou art righteous, hym shall the people curse, yea the comminaltie shall abhorre him:

25 But they that rebuke the vngodly in them doth God delight, and a rych blessing shall come vpon them.

26 Euery man shall kisse his lippes that geueth a good aunswere.

27 Make redie thy worke that is without, and looke well vnto that whiche thou hast in the fielde: and then buylde thyne house.

28 Be not a false witnesse against thy neighbour, and speake no falsehood with thy lippes.

29 Say not, I wyll handle hym euen as he hath dealt with me: and wyll rewarde euery man according to his deedes.

30 I went by the fielde of the slouthfull, and by the vineyarde of the foolishe man:

31 And lo, it was all couered with nettles, and stoode full of thornes, and the stone wall was broken downe.

32 This I sawe, and considered it well: I looked vpon it, and toke it for a warning.

33 Yea sleepe on styll I say a litle, slumber a litle, folde thy handes together yet a litle:

34 So shall pouertie come vnto thee as one that trauayleth by the way, and necessitie lyke a weaponed man.
