24:25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

24:26Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

24:27Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

24:29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

24:30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

24:31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

24:32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
