PR-24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to
be with them.
PR-24:2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips
talk of
mischief.
PR-24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by
understanding it is
established:
PR-24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all
precious and
pleasant riches.
PR-24:5 A wise man [is] strong; yea, a man of knowledge
increaseth strength.
PR-24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in
multitude of
counsellors [there is] safety.
PR-24:7 Wisdom [is] too high for a fool: he openeth not his
mouth in the
gate.
PR-24:8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a
mischievous person.
PR-24:9 The thought of foolishness [is] sin: and the scorner
[is] an
abomination to men.
PR-24:10 [If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength
[is] small.
PR-24:11 If thou forbear to deliver [them that are] drawn unto
death, and
[those that are] ready to be slain;
PR-24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he
that pondereth
the heart consider [it]? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth
[not] he know
[it]? and shall [not] he render to [every] man according to his
works?
PR-24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because [it is] good; and the
honeycomb,
[which is] sweet to thy taste:
PR-24:14 So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] unto thy soul:
when thou
hast found [it], then there shall be a reward, and thy
expectation shall not
be cut off.
PR-24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked [man], against the dwelling of
the righteous;
spoil not his resting place:
PR-24:16 For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up
again: but the
wicked shall fall into mischief.
PR-24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not
thine heart be
glad when he stumbleth:
PR-24:18 Lest the LORD see [it], and it displease him, and he
turn away his
wrath from him.
PR-24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil [men], neither be
thou envious at
the wicked;
PR-24:20 For there shall be no reward to the evil [man]; the
candle of the
wicked shall be put out.
PR-24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: [and] meddle
not with them
that are given to change:
PR-24:22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who
knoweth the ruin of
them both?
PR-24:23 These [things] also [belong] to the wise. [It is] not
good to have
respect of persons in judgment.
PR-24:24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou [art] righteous;
him shall the
people curse, nations shall abhor him:
PR-24:25 But to them that rebuke [him] shall be delight, and a
good blessing
shall come upon them.
PR-24:26 [Every man] shall kiss [his] lips that giveth a right
answer.
PR-24:27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself
in the field;
and afterwards build thine house.
PR-24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause;
and deceive
[not] with thy lips.
PR-24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I
will render to
the man according to his work.
PR-24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the
vineyard of the man
void of understanding;
PR-24:31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, [and]
nettles had
covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken
down.
PR-24:32 Then I saw, [and] considered [it] well: I looked upon
[it, and]
received instruction.
PR-24:33 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little
folding of the
hands to sleep:
PR-24:34 So shall thy poverty come [as] one that travelleth;
and thy want as
an armed man.
