Proverbs 24:28

Compare all

26 He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.

27 ^aPrepare your outside work,
Make it fit for yourself in the field;
And afterward build your house.

28 ^aDo not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,
¹For would you deceive with your lips?

29 ^aDo 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;

Proverbs 24:28

Be not a witness - Do not be forward to offer thyself to bear testimony against a neighbor, in a matter which may prejudice him, where the essential claims of justice do not require such interference; and especially do not do this in a spirit of revenge, because he has injured thee before.
