Proverbs 24:28–34

28

Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause.

Don’t deceive with your lips.

29

Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me;

I will repay the man according to his work.”

I went by the field of the sluggard,

by the vineyard of the man void of understanding.

Selected verse

Behold, it was all grown over with thorns.

Its surface was covered with nettles,

and its stone wall was broken down.

32

Then I saw, and considered well.

I saw, and received instruction:

33

a little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to sleep,

34

so your poverty will come as a robber

and your want as an armed man.
