Proverbs 24:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ Don't build your house and establish a home until your fields are ready, and you are sure that you can earn a living.

²⁸ Don't give evidence against others without good reason, or say misleading things about them. ²⁹ Don't say, “I'll do to them just what they did to me! I'll get even with them!”
