Today’s Scripture:

19 Don’t be upset because of evil people.    Don’t long for what sinners have.20 Tomorrow evil people won’t have any hope.    The lamps of sinners will be blown out.

21 My son, have respect for the Lord and the king.    Don’t join with officials who disobey them.22 The Lord and the king will suddenly destroy them.    Who knows what trouble those two can bring?

23 Here are more sayings of wise people.

Taking sides in court is not good.24     A curse will fall on those who say the guilty are not guilty.Nations will ask for bad things to happen to them.    People will speak against them.25 But it will go well with those who sentence guilty people.    Rich blessings will come to them.

26 An honest answer    is like a kiss on the lips.

27 Put your outdoor work in order.    Get your fields ready.    After that, build your house.

28 Don’t be a witness against your neighbor for no reason.    Would you use your lips to tell lies?29 Don’t say, “I’ll do to them what they have done to me.    I’ll get even with them for what they did.”

30 I went past the field of someone who didn’t want to work.    I went past the vineyard of someone who didn’t have any sense.31 Thorns had grown up everywhere.    The ground was covered with weeds.    The stone wall had fallen down.32 I applied my heart to what I observed.    I learned a lesson from what I saw.33 You might sleep a little or take a little nap.    You might even fold your hands and rest.34 Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you.    You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.
