24 El que dijere al malo, Justo eres, los pueblos lo maldecirán, y le detestarán las naciones:

25 Mas los que [lo] reprenden, serán agradables, y sobre ellos vendrá bendición de bien.

26 Besados serán los labios del que responde palabras rectas.

27 Apresta tu obra de afuera, y disponla en tu heredad; y después edificarás tu casa.

28 No seas sin causa testigo contra tu prójimo; y no lisonjees con tus labios.
