Proverbs 24:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ Put your outdoor work in order.
    Get your fields ready.
    After that, build your house.

²⁸ Don’t be a witness against your neighbor for no reason.
    Would you use your lips to tell lies?
²⁹ Don’t say, “I’ll do to them what they have done to me.
    I’ll get even with them for what they did.”
