24. Those who say to the guilty, "You are innocent"—the people will curse them.Nations will condemn them.
25. But it will go well for those who rebuke them.A rich blessing will come to them.
26. Those who speak honestlyare like those who kiss on the lips.
27. Get your outside work done;make preparations in the field;then you can build your house.
28. Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without reason;don’t deceive with your lips.
