Further sayings of the wise (24:23-34).
These five sayings appear as an addendum to the thirty sayings of the wise (22:17–24:22).
v.23-25 (saying 1) Justice, no partiality. Courts and juries must render honest judgments (Ex 19:15). It is wrong to show any partiality when judging a case (e.g., because they are rich or the color of their skin, etc.). If you let the wicked go free you will be hated, but if you condemn the guilty you will be showered with blessings.
v.26 (saying 2) An honest answer. Giving an honest answer (16:24) treats one with respect and affection (this is not a sexual kiss, 1 Cor 16:20). It is wise to accept the correction given by a friend and if you are a friend you will give honest feedback.
v.27 (saying 3) Preparation. Prepare well (or plan carefully) before building your house. This can perhaps be understood as preparing now for life eternal by following wisdom (v.3) and believing in God’s son Jesus. (Ps 127:1)
v.28-29 (saying 4) No paying back. This proverbs condemns a false witness and any deception in speech. (25:18) Do not “pay back” a neighbor for some past wrong. See also Mt 5:43-48.
v.30-34 (saying 5) Learn from a sluggard. An observer happens upon the field of a sluggard. He finds it run down and overgrown and learns an important lesson. A little sleep or slumber, or folding the hands for rest and poverty will come upon you suddenly, like a robber (6:10-11). Hard work is the antidote to poverty.
