Proverbs 24:23-34

These [things] also [belong] to the wise
<02450>_.
[It is] not good
<02896>
to have respect
<05234> (8687)
of persons
<06440>
in judgment
<04941>_.
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:
But to them that rebuke
<03198> (8688)
[him] shall be delight
<05276> (8799)_,
and a good
<02896>
blessing
<01293>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon them. {a good...: Heb. a blessing of good}
[Every man] shall kiss
<05401> (8799)
[his] lips
<08193>
that giveth
<07725> (8688)
a right
<05228>
answer
<01697>_.
{that...: Heb. that answereth right words}
Prepare
<03559> (8685)
thy work
<04399>
without
<02351>_,
and make it fit
<06257> (8761)
for thyself in the field
<07704>_;
and afterwards
<0310>
build
<01129> (8804)
thine house
<01004>_.
Be not a witness
<05707>
against thy neighbour
<07453>
without cause
<02600>_;
and deceive
<06601> (8765)
[not] with thy lips
<08193>_.
Say
<0559> (8799)
not, I will do
<06213> (8799)
so to him as he hath done
<06213> (8804)
to me: I will render
<07725> (8686)
to the man
<0376>
according to his work
<06467>_.
I went
<05674> (8804)
by the field
<07704>
of the slothful
<0376> <06102>_,
and by the vineyard
<03754>
of the man
<0120>
void
<02638>
of understanding
<03820>_;
And, lo, it was all grown over
<05927> (8804)
with thorns
<07063>_,
[and] nettles
<02738>
had covered
<03680> (8795)
the face
<06440>
thereof, and the stone
<068>
wall
<01444>
thereof was broken down
<02040> (8738)_.
Then I saw
<02372> (8799)_,
[and] considered [it] well
<07896> (8799) <03820>_:
I looked
<07200> (8804)
upon [it, and] received
<03947> (8804)
instruction
<04148>_.
{considered...: Heb. set my heart}
[Yet] a little
<04592>
sleep
<08142>_,
a little
<04592>
slumber
<08572>_,
a little
<04592>
folding
<02264>
of the hands
<03027>
to sleep
<07901> (8800)_:
So shall thy poverty
<07389>
come
<0935> (8804)
[as] one that travelleth
<01980> (8693)_;
and thy want
<04270>
as an armed
<04043>
man
<0376>_.
{an...: Heb. a man of shield}
