Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 24 of Proverbs. These words of the wise condemn partial judgments and judicial corruption. Declaring the guilty innocent or the righteous guilty has serious social consequences. The text also values open rebuke and sincere friendship. Finally, the scene of the lazy man’s field shows how neglect produces ruin gradually: poverty arrives like a thief when lack of diligence continues without correction.

Sprich nicht: "Wie man mir tut, so will ich wieder tun und einem jeglichen sein Werk vergelten."
No digas: Como me hizo, así le haré; Daré el pago al hombre según su obra.
No digas: «Como él me hizo, así le haré; le pagaré según sus obras».
Ne dis pas: Je lui ferai comme il m'a fait, Je rendrai à chacun selon ses oeuvres.
Non dire: Come egli ha fatto a me, così farò a lui; Io renderò a costui secondo l’opera sua
Não digas: Como ele me fez a mim, assim o farei eu a ele; pagarei a cada um segundo a sua obra.
不可說:「人怎樣待我,我也怎樣待他, 我必照他所做的報復他。」
