Proverbs 24:27

²⁵ But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

²⁶ Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

²⁸ Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
