- These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
- He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
- But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
- Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
- Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
|
- 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 will curse him, nations will abhor him;
- But to those who rebuke the wicked will be delight, And a good blessing will come upon them.
- He kisses the lips Who gives a right answer.
- Prepare your work outside And make it ready for yourself in the field; Afterwards, then, build your house.

- Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not 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 the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
- And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
- Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
|
- Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, And do not deceive with your lips.
- Do not say, "Thus I shall do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
- I passed by the field of the sluggard And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,
- And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles; Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.
- When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, and received instruction.
|
- Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
- So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
|
- "A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,"
- Then your poverty will come as a robber And your want like an armed man.
