Proverbs 24:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷ First do your outside work,
    preparing your land for yourself.
        After that, build your house.

²⁸ Don’t testify against your neighbor without a cause,
    and don’t lie when you speak.^[a]
29 Don’t say, “I’ll do to him like he did to me,
    I’ll be sure to pay him back for what he did.”
