Proverbs 24:27-30

New International Version

²⁷ Put your outdoor work in order
    and get your fields ready;
    after that, build your house.

²⁸ Do not testify against your neighbor without cause^(A)—
    would you use your lips to mislead?
²⁹ Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
    I’ll pay them back for what they did.”^(B)

³⁰ I went past the field of a sluggard,^(C)
    past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
