Proverbs 24:26-31 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.
