Proverbs 24:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ But those who convict the evildoer will fare well,
    and they will be blessed with prosperity.
²⁶ Anyone who offers an honest answer
    gives a kiss on the lips.
²⁷ Plan what you want outside
    and make everything ready on the land;
once you have done this,
    you can go forth and build your house.
