Proverbs 22:17--24:34

22:17
Bow down
<05186> (8685)
thine ear
<0241>_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
the words
<01697>
of the wise
<02450>_,
and apply
<07896> (8799)
thine heart
<03820>
unto my knowledge
<01847>_.
22:18
For [it is] a pleasant thing
<05273>
if thou keep
<08104> (8799)
them within
<0990>
thee; they shall withal
<03162>
be fitted
<03559> (8735)
in thy lips
<08193>_.
{within...: Heb. in thy belly}
22:19
That thy trust
<04009>
may be in the LORD
<03068>_,
I have made known
<03045> (8689)
to thee this day
<03117>_,
even to thee. {even...: or, trust thou also}
22:20
Have not I written
<03789> (8804)
to thee
<08032>
excellent things
<07991>
in counsels
<04156>
and knowledge
<01847>_,
22:21
That I might make thee know
<03045> (8687)
the certainty
<07189>
of the words
<0561>
of truth
<0571>_;
that thou mightest answer
<07725> (8687)
the words
<0561>
of truth
<0571>
to them that send
<07971> (8802)
unto thee? {to them...: or, to those that send thee?}
22:22
Rob
<01497> (8799)
not the poor
<01800>_,
because he [is] poor
<01800>_:
neither oppress
<01792> (8762)
the afflicted
<06041>
in the gate
<08179>_:
22:23
For the LORD
<03068>
will plead
<07378> (8799)
their cause
<07379>_,
and spoil
<06906> (8804)
the soul
<05315>
of those that spoiled
<06906> (8802)
them.
22:24
Make no friendship
<07462> (8691)
with an angry
<0639>
man
<01167>_;
and with a furious
<02534>
man
<0376>
thou shalt not go
<0935> (8799)_:
22:25
Lest thou learn
<0502> (8799)
his ways
<0734>_,
and get
<03947> (8804)
a snare
<04170>
to thy soul
<05315>_.
22:26
Be not thou [one] of them that strike
<08628> (8802)
hands
<03709>_,
[or] of them that are sureties
<06148> (8802)
for debts
<04859>_.
22:27
If thou hast nothing to pay
<07999> (8763)_,
why should he take away
<03947> (8799)
thy bed
<04904>
from under thee?
22:28
Remove
<05253> (8686)
not the ancient
<05769>
landmark
<01366>_,
which thy fathers
<01>
have set
<06213> (8804)_.
{landmark: or, bound}
22:29
Seest
<02372> (8804)
thou a man
<0376>
diligent
<04106>
in his business
<04399>_?
he shall stand
<03320> (8691)
before
<06440>
kings
<04428>_;
he shall not stand
<03320> (8691)
before
<06440>
mean
<02823>
[men]. {mean...: Heb. obscure men}
23:1
When thou sittest
<03427> (8799)
to eat
<03898> (8800)
with a ruler
<04910> (8802)_,
consider
<0995> (8799)
diligently
<0995> (8800)
what [is] before
<06440>
thee:
23:2
And put
<07760> (8804)
a knife
<07915>
to thy throat
<03930>_,
if thou [be] a man given
<01167>
to appetite
<05315>_.
23:3
Be not desirous
<0183> (8691)
of his dainties
<04303>_:
for they [are] deceitful
<03577>
meat
<03899>_.
23:4
Labour
<03021> (8799)
not to be rich
<06238> (8687)_:
cease
<02308> (8798)
from thine own wisdom
<0998>_.
23:5
Wilt thou set
<05774> (8686) (8675) <05774> (8799)
thine eyes
<05869>
upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly
<06213> (8800)
make
<06213> (8799)
themselves wings
<03671>_;
they fly away
<05774> (8799) (8675) <05774> (8687)
as an eagle
<05404>
toward heaven
<08064>_.
{set...: Heb. cause thine eyes to fly upon}
23:6
Eat
<03898> (8799)
thou not the bread
<03899>
of [him that hath] an evil
<07451>
eye
<05869>_,
neither desire
<0183> (8691)
thou his dainty meats
<04303>_:
23:7
For as he thinketh
<08176> (8804)
in his heart
<05315>_,
so [is] he: Eat
<0398> (8798)
and drink
<08354> (8798)_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
he to thee; but his heart
<03820>
[is] not with thee.
23:8
The morsel
<06595>
[which] thou hast eaten
<0398> (8804)
shalt thou vomit up
<06958> (8686)_,
and lose
<07843> (8765)
thy sweet
<05273>
words
<01697>_.
23:9
Speak
<01696> (8762)
not in the ears
<0241>
of a fool
<03684>_:
for he will despise
<0936> (8799)
the wisdom
<07922>
of thy words
<04405>_.
23:10
Remove
<05253> (8686)
not the old
<05769>
landmark
<01366>_;
and enter
<0935> (8799)
not into the fields
<07704>
of the fatherless
<03490>_:
{landmark: or, bound}
23:11
For their redeemer
<01350> (8802)
[is] mighty
<02389>_;
he shall plead
<07378> (8799)
their cause
<07379>
with thee.
23:12
Apply
<0935> (8685)
thine heart
<03820>
unto instruction
<04148>_,
and thine ears
<0241>
to the words
<0561>
of knowledge
<01847>_.
23:13
Withhold
<04513> (8799)
not correction
<04148>
from the child
<05288>_:
for [if] thou beatest
<05221> (8686)
him with the rod
<07626>_,
he shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.
23:14
Thou shalt beat
<05221> (8686)
him with the rod
<07626>_,
and shalt deliver
<05337> (8686)
his soul
<05315>
from hell
<07585>_.
23:15
My son
<01121>_,
if thine heart
<03820>
be wise
<02449> (8804)_,
my heart
<03820>
shall rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,
even mine
<0589>_.
{even...: or, even I will rejoice}
23:16
Yea, my reins
<03629>
shall rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,
when thy lips
<08193>
speak
<01696> (8763)
right things
<04339>_.
23:17
Let not thine heart
<03820>
envy
<07065> (8762)
sinners
<02400>_:
but [be thou] in the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
all the day
<03117>
long.
23:18
For surely there is
<03426>
an end
<0319>_;
and thine expectation
<08615>
shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.
{end: or, reward}
23:19
Hear
<08085> (8798)
thou, my son
<01121>_,
and be wise
<02449> (8798)_,
and guide
<0833> (8761)
thine heart
<03820>
in the way
<01870>_.
23:20
Be not among winebibbers
<03196> <05433> (8802)_;
among riotous eaters
<02151> (8802)
of flesh
<01320>_:
{of flesh: Heb. of their flesh}
23:21
For the drunkard
<05433> (8802)
and the glutton
<02151> (8802)
shall come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_:
and drowsiness
<05124>
shall clothe
<03847> (8686)
[a man] with rags
<07168>_.
23:22
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto thy father
<01>
that begat
<03205> (8804)
thee, and despise
<0936> (8799)
not thy mother
<0517>
when she is old
<02204> (8804)_.
23:23
Buy
<07069> (8798)
the truth
<0571>_,
and sell
<04376> (8799)
[it] not; [also] wisdom
<02451>_,
and instruction
<04148>_,
and understanding
<0998>_.
23:24
The father
<01>
of the righteous
<06662>
shall greatly
<01524>
rejoice
<01523> (8799)_:
and he that begetteth
<03205> (8802)
a wise
<02450>
[child] shall have joy
<08055> (8799)
of him.
23:25
Thy father
<01>
and thy mother
<0517>
shall be glad
<08055> (8799)_,
and she that bare
<03205> (8802)
thee shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)_.
23:26
My son
<01121>_,
give
<05414> (8798)
me thine heart
<03820>_,
and let thine eyes
<05869>
observe
<07521> (8799) <05341> (8799)
my ways
<01870>_.
23:27
For a whore
<02181> (8802)
[is] a deep
<06013>
ditch
<07745>_;
and a strange woman
<05237>
[is] a narrow
<06862>
pit
<0875>_.
23:28
She also lieth in wait
<0693> (8799)
as [for] a prey
<02863>_,
and increaseth
<03254> (8686)
the transgressors
<0898> (8802)
among men
<0120>_.
{as for...: or, as a robber}
23:29
Who hath woe
<0188>_?
who hath sorrow
<017>_?
who hath contentions
<04079> (8675) <04066>_?
who hath babbling
<07879>_?
who hath wounds
<06482>
without cause
<02600>_?
who hath redness
<02448>
of eyes
<05869>_?
23:30
They that tarry long
<0309> (8764)
at the wine
<03196>_;
they that go
<0935> (8802)
to seek
<02713> (8800)
mixed wine
<04469>_.
23:31
Look
<07200> (8799)
not thou upon the wine
<03196>
when it is red
<0119> (8691)_,
when it giveth
<05414> (8799)
his colour
<05869>
in the cup
<03563> (8675) <03599>_,
[when] it moveth
<01980> (8691)
itself aright
<04339>_.
23:32
At the last
<0319>
it biteth
<05391> (8799)
like a serpent
<05175>_,
and stingeth
<06567> (8686)
like an adder
<06848>_.
{an...: or, a cockatrice}
23:33
Thine eyes
<05869>
shall behold
<07200> (8799)
strange women
<02114> (8801)_,
and thine heart
<03820>
shall utter
<01696> (8762)
perverse things
<08419>_.
23:34
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down
<07901> (8802)
in the midst
<03820>
of the sea
<03220>_,
or as he that lieth
<07901> (8802)
upon the top
<07218>
of a mast
<02260>_.
{the midst...: Heb. the heart of the sea}
23:35
They have stricken
<05221> (8689)
me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick
<02470> (8804)_;
they have beaten
<01986> (8804)
me, [and] I felt
<03045> (8804)
[it] not: when shall I awake
<06974> (8686)_?
I will seek
<01245> (8762)
it yet
<03254> (8686)
again. {I felt...: Heb. I knew it not}
24:1
Be not thou envious
<07065> (8762)
against evil
<07451>
men
<0582>_,
neither desire
<0183> (8691)
to be with them.
24:2
For their heart
<03820>
studieth
<01897> (8799)
destruction
<07701>_,
and their lips
<08193>
talk
<01696> (8762)
of mischief
<05999>_.
24:3
Through wisdom
<02451>
is an house
<01004>
builded
<01129> (8735)_;
and by understanding
<08394>
it is established
<03559> (8709)_:
24:4
And by knowledge
<01847>
shall the chambers
<02315>
be filled
<04390> (8735)
with all precious
<03368>
and pleasant
<05273>
riches
<01952>_.
24:5
A wise
<02450>
man
<01397>
[is] strong
<05797>_;
yea, a man
<0376>
of knowledge
<01847>
increaseth
<0553> (8764)
strength
<03581>_.
{is strong: Heb. is in strength} {increaseth...: Heb. strengtheneth might}
24:6
For by wise counsel
<08458>
thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)
thy war
<04421>_:
and in multitude
<07230>
of counsellors
<03289> (8802)
[there is] safety
<08668>_.
24:7
Wisdom
<02454>
[is] too high
<07311> (8802)
for a fool
<0191>_:
he openeth
<06605> (8799)
not his mouth
<06310>
in the gate
<08179>_.
24:8
He that deviseth
<02803> (8764)
to do evil
<07489> (8687)
shall be called
<07121> (8799)
a mischievous
<04209>
person
<01167>_.
24:9
The thought
<02154>
of foolishness
<0200>
[is] sin
<02403>_:
and the scorner
<03887> (8801)
[is] an abomination
<08441>
to men
<0120>_.
24:10
[If] thou faint
<07503> (8694)
in the day
<03117>
of adversity
<06869>_,
thy strength
<03581>
[is] small
<06862>_.
{small: Heb. narrow}
24:11
If thou forbear
<02820> (8799)
to deliver
<05337> (8685)
[them that are] drawn
<03947> (8803)
unto death
<04194>_,
and [those that are] ready
<04131> (8801)
to be slain
<02027>_;
24:12
If thou sayest
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, we knew
<03045> (8804)
it not; doth not he that pondereth
<08505> (8802)
the heart
<03826>
consider
<0995> (8799)
[it]? and he that keepeth
<05341> (8802)
thy soul
<05315>_,
doth [not] he know
<03045> (8799)
[it]? and shall [not] he render
<07725> (8689)
to [every] man
<0120>
according to his works
<06467>_?
24:13
My son
<01121>_,
eat
<0398> (8798)
thou honey
<01706>_,
because [it is] good
<02896>_;
and the honeycomb
<05317>_,
[which is] sweet
<04966>
to thy taste
<02441>_:
{to...: Heb. upon thy palate}
24:14
So [shall] the knowledge
<03045> (8798)
of wisdom
<02451>
[be] unto thy soul
<05315>_:
when thou hast found
<04672> (8804)
[it], then there shall be
<03426>
a reward
<0319>_,
and thy expectation
<08615>
shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.
24:15
Lay not wait
<0693> (8799)_,
O wicked
<07563>
[man], against the dwelling
<05116>
of the righteous
<06662>_;
spoil
<07703> (8762)
not his resting place
<07258>_:
24:16
For a just
<06662>
[man] falleth
<05307> (8799)
seven times
<07651>_,
and riseth up again
<06965> (8804)_:
but the wicked
<07563>
shall fall
<03782> (8735)
into mischief
<07451>_.
24:17
Rejoice
<08055> (8799)
not when thine enemy
<0341> (8802)
falleth
<05307> (8800)_,
and let not thine heart
<03820>
be glad
<01523> (8799)
when he stumbleth
<03782> (8736)_:
24:18
Lest the LORD
<03068>
see
<07200> (8799)
[it], and it displease
<07489> (8804) <05869>
him, and he turn away
<07725> (8689)
his wrath
<0639>
from him. {it displeaseth...: Heb. it be evil in his eyes}
24:19
Fret
<02734> (8691)
not thyself because of evil
<07489> (8688)
[men], neither be thou envious
<07065> (8762)
at the wicked
<07563>_;
{Fret...: or, Keep not company with the wicked}
24:20
For there shall be no reward
<0319>
to the evil
<07451>
[man]; the candle
<05216>
of the wicked
<07563>
shall be put out
<01846> (8799)_.
{candle: or, lamp}
24:21
My son
<01121>_,
fear
<03372> (8798)
thou the LORD
<03068>
and the king
<04428>_:
[and] meddle
<06148> (8691)
not with them that are given to change
<08138> (8802)_:
{them...: Heb. changers}
24:22
For their calamity
<0343>
shall rise
<06965> (8799)
suddenly
<06597>_;
and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)
the ruin
<06365>
of them both
<08147>_?
24:23
These [things] also [belong] to the wise
<02450>_.
[It is] not good
<02896>
to have respect
<05234> (8687)
of persons
<06440>
in judgment
<04941>_.
24:24
He that saith
<0559> (8802)
unto the wicked
<07563>_,
Thou [art] righteous
<06662>_;
him shall the people
<05971>
curse
<05344> (8799)_,
nations
<03816>
shall abhor
<02194> (8799)
him:
24:25
But to them that rebuke
<03198> (8688)
[him] shall be delight
<05276> (8799)_,
and a good
<02896>
blessing

Prepare
<03559> (8685)
thy work
<04399>
without
<02351>_,

for thyself in the field

<0310>

<01129> (8804)
thine house
<01004>_.
24:28
Be not a witness
<05707>
against thy neighbour
<07453>
without cause
<02600>_;

Say
<0559> (8799)
not, I will do

Then I saw
<02372> (8799)_,
[and] considered [it] well
<07896> (8799) <03820>_:
I looked
<07200> (8804)
upon [it, and] received

<04592>
sleep

[as] one that travelleth

<04270>
as an armed
<04043>
man
<0376>_.
{an...: Heb. a man of shield}
