Proverbs #24

Proverbs Book #24


PROVERBS 24

Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;

2 For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk
of troublemaking.

3 Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding
it is established;

4 By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious
and pleasant riches.

5 A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases
strength;

6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And
in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

7 Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; He does not open his
mouth in the gate.

8 He who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer.

9 The devising of foolishness is sin, And the scoffer is
an abomination to men.

10 If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength
is small.

11 Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold
back those stumbling to the slaughter.

12 If you say, "Surely we did not know this," Does not
He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your
soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to
each man according to his deeds?

13 My son, eat honey because it is good, And the
honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;

14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If
you have found it, there is a prospect, And your hope
will not be cut off.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the
dwelling of the righteous; Do not plunder his resting
place;

16 For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise
again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not
let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him, And He
turn away His wrath from him.

19 Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of
the wicked;

20 For there will be no prospect for the evil man; The
lamp of the wicked will be put out.

21 My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not associate
with those given to change;

22 For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows
the ruin those two can bring?


“Further Sayings of the Wise”

23 These things also belong to the wise: It is not good
to show partiality in judgment.

24 He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous," Him
the people will curse; Nations will abhor him.

25 But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.

26 He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.

27 Prepare your outside work, Make it fit for yourself
in the field; And afterward build your house.

28 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without
cause, For would you deceive with your lips?

29 Do not say, "I will do to him just as he has done to
me; I will render to the man according to his work."

30 I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the
vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;

31 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its
surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was
broken down.

32 When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it
and received instruction:

33 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of
the hands to rest;

34 So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your
need like an armed man.

God Bless you -
