Proverbs 24:34 - Prayer Tents

24Don't be envious of wicked men or wish you were with them,H7065H7451H582H183 2because they plan violence, and they are always talking about trouble.H3820H1897H7701H8193H1696H5999 3By wisdom a house is built; it is made secure through understanding.H2451H1004H1129H8394H3559 4By knowledge its rooms are furnished with all sorts of expensive and beautiful goods.H1847H2315H4390H3368H5273H1952 5A wise man is strong, and a knowledgeable man grows in strength.H2450H1397H5797H376H1847H553H3581 6For through wise counsel you will wage your war, and victory lies in an abundance of advisors.H8458H6213H4421H7230H3289H8668 7Wisdom lies beyond reach of the fool; he has nothing to say in court.H2454H7311H191H6605H6310H8179 8The person who plans on doing evil will be called a schemer.H2803H7489H7121H4209H1167 9To devise folly is sin, and people detest a scoffer.H2154H200H2403H3887H8441H120 10If you grow weary when times are troubled, your strength is limited.H7503H3117H6869H3581H6862 11Rescue those who are being led away to death, and save those who stumble toward slaughter.H2820H5337H3947H4194H4131H2027 12If you say, "Look here, we didn't know about this," doesn't God, who examines motives, discern it? Doesn't the one who guards your soul know about it? Won't he repay each person according to what he has done?H559H3045H8505H3826H995H5341H5315H3045H7725H120H6467 13My son, eat honey, because it's good for you; indeed, drippings from the honeycomb are sweet to your taste;H1121H398H1706H2896H5317H4966H2441 14Keep in mind that wisdom is like that for your soul; if you find it, there will be a future for you, and what you hope for won't be cut short.H3045H2451H5315H4672H3426H319H8615H3772 15Don't lie in wait like an outlaw to attack where the righteous live;H693H7563H5116H6662H7703H7258 16for though a righteous man falls seven times, he will rise again, but the wicked stumble into calamity.H6662H5307H7651H6965H7563H3782H7451 17Don't rejoice when your enemy falls; don't let yourself be glad when he stumbles.H8055H341H5307H3820H1523H3782 18Otherwise the Lord will observe and disapprove, and he will turn his anger away from him.H3068H7200H7489H5869H7725H639 19Don't be anxious about those who practice evil, and don't be envious of the wicked.H2734H7489H7065H7563 20For the wicked man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.H319H7451H5216H7563H1846 21My son, fear both the Lord and the king, and don't keep company with rebels.H1121H3372H3068H4428H6148H8138 22They will be destroyed suddenly, and who knows what kind of punishment will come from these two?H343H6965H6597H3045H6365H8147 23Here are some more proverbs from wise people: It isn't good to show partiality in judgment.H2450H2896H5234H6440H4941 24Whoever says to the wicked, "You're in the right," will be cursed by people and hated by nations.H559H7563H6662H5971H5344H3816H2194 25But as for people who rebuke the wicked; a good blessing will fall upon them.H3198H5276H2896H1293H935 26A kiss on the lips? that's what someone who gives an honest answer deserves.H5401H8193H7725H5228H1697 27First do your outside work, preparing your land for yourself. After that, build your house.H3559H4399H2351H6257H7704H310H1129H1004 28Don't testify against your neighbor without a cause, and don't lie when you speak.H5707H7453H2600H6601H8193 29Don't say, "I'll do to him like he did to me, I'll be sure to pay him back for what he did."H559H6213H6213H7725H376H6467 30I went by the field belonging to a lazy man, by a vineyard belonging to a senseless person.H5674H7704H376H6102H3754H120H2638H3820 31There it was, overgrown with thistles, the ground covered with thorns, its stone wall collapsed.H5927H7063H2738H3680H6440H68H1444H2040 32As I observed, I thought about it; I watched, and learned a lesson:24H2372H7896H3820H7200H3947H4148 33"A little sleep! A little slumber! A little folding of my hands to rest!"H4592H8142H4592H8572H4592H2264H3027H7901 34Then your poverty will come upon you like a robber, your need like an armed bandit.H7389H935H1980H4270H4043H376
