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.
29. Don’t say, "I’ll do to them what they did to me.I’ll pay them back for their actions."
30. I happened upon the field of a lazy person,by the vineyard of one with no sense.
31. Thorns grew all over it;weeds covered the ground,and the stone wall was falling down.
32. I observed this and took it to heart;I saw it and learned a lesson.
33. "A little sleep, a little slumber,a little lying down with folded arms"—
34. and poverty will come on you like a prowler,deprivation like a man with a shield.
