Fret Not Thyself — Proverbs 24:21–29
PROV 24:21–22
21
My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:
22
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
PROV 24:23–25
23
These also are sayings of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
24
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;
25
But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.
PROV 24:26
He kisseth the lips Who giveth a right answer.
PROV 24:27
Prepare thy work without, And make it ready for thee in the field; And afterwards build thy house.
PROV 24:28–29
28
Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; And deceive not with thy lips.
29
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.
