Proverbs 24:25-31 New Living Translation (NLT)

25. But it will go well for those who convict the guilty;rich blessings will be showered on them.

26. An honest answeris like a kiss of friendship.

27. Do your planning and prepare your fieldsbefore building your house.

28. Don’t testify against your neighbors without cause;don’t lie about them.

29. And don’t say, “Now I can pay them back for what they’ve done to me!I’ll get even with them!”

30. I walked by the field of a lazy person,the vineyard of one with no common sense.

31. I saw that it was overgrown with nettles.It was covered with weeds,and its walls were broken down.
