23 These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24 He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" Peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him --
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, And a rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer Is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Prepare your work outside. Make it ready for you in the field. Afterwards, build your house.
28 Don`t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don`t deceive with your lips.
29 Don`t say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
