He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.
27
Prepare your outside work, Make it fit for yourself in the field; And afterward build your house.
28
Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, For would you deceive with your lips?
29
Do not say, "I will do to him just as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
30
I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31
And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down.
32
When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction:
33
A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest;
34
So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.
