| 24:28 Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don't deceive with your lips. | 28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. | 28 ゆえなく隣り人に敵して、証言をしてはならない、くちびるをもって欺いてはならない。 |
| 24:29 Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work." | 29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work. | 29 「彼がわたしにしたように、わたしも彼にしよう、わたしは人がしたところにしたがって、その人に報いよう」と言ってはならない。 |
| 24:30 I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; | 30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; | 30 わたしはなまけ者の畑のそばと、知恵のない人のぶどう畑のそばを通ってみたが、 |

| 24:34 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your want as an armed man. | 34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man. | 34 それゆえ、貧しさは盗びとのように、あなたに来、乏しさは、つわもののように、あなたに来る。 |
