Proverbs 24:1-34

Be not thou envious
<07065> (8762)
against evil
<07451>
men
<0582>_,
neither desire
<0183> (8691)
to be with them.
For their heart
<03820>
studieth
<01897> (8799)
destruction
<07701>_,
and their lips
<08193>
talk
<01696> (8762)
of mischief
<05999>_.
Through wisdom
<02451>
is an house
<01004>
builded
<01129> (8735)_;
and by understanding
<08394>
it is established
<03559> (8709)_:
And by knowledge
<01847>
shall the chambers
<02315>
be filled
<04390> (8735)
with all precious
<03368>
and pleasant
<05273>
riches
<01952>_.
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}
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>_.
Wisdom
<02454>
[is] too high
<07311> (8802)
for a fool
<0191>_:
he openeth
<06605> (8799)
not his mouth
<06310>
in the gate
<08179>_.
He that deviseth
<02803> (8764)
to do evil
<07489> (8687)
shall be called
<07121> (8799)
a mischievous
<04209>
person
<01167>_.
The thought
<02154>
of foolishness
<0200>
[is] sin
<02403>_:
and the scorner
<03887> (8801)
[is] an abomination
<08441>
to men
<0120>_.
[If] thou faint
<07503> (8694)
in the day
<03117>
of adversity
<06869>_,
thy strength
<03581>
[is] small
<06862>_.
{small: Heb. narrow}
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>_;
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>_?
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}
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)_.
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>_:
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>_.
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)_:
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}
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}
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}
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}
For their calamity
<0343>
shall rise
<06965> (8799)
suddenly
<06597>_;
and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)
the ruin
<06365>
of them both
<08147>_?
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}
