Further Sayings of the Wise

Proverbs 24:23-29

ALSO THESE THINGS PERTEINE TO THE WISE, It is not good to haue respect of any person in iudgement.

He that saith to the wicked, Thou art righteous, him shall the people curse, and the multitude shall abhorre him.

But to them that rebuke him, shall be pleasure, and vpon them shall come the blessing of goodnesse.

They shall kisse the lippes of him that answereth vpright wordes.

Prepare thy worke without, and make readie thy thinges in the fielde, and after, builde thine house.

Be not a witnes against thy neighbour without cause: for wilt thou deceiue with thy lippes?

Say not, I wil doe to him, as he hath done to mee, I will recompence euery man according to his worke.
