24Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;H7065H7451H582H1832For their minds devise violence, And their lips talk of trouble.H3820H1897H7701H8193H1696H59993By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;H2451H1004H1129H8394H35594And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.H1847H2315H4390H3368H5273H19525A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge increases power.H2450H1397H5797H376H1847H553H35816For by wise guidance you will wage war, And in abundance of counselors there is victory.H8458H6213H4421H7230H3289H86687Wisdom is too high for a fool, He does not open his mouth in the gate.H2454H7311H191H6605H6310H81798He who plans to do evil, Men will call him a schemer.H2803H7489H7121H4209H11679The devising of folly is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to men.H2154H200H2403H3887H8441H12010If you are slack in the day of distress, Your strength is limited.H7503H3117H6869H3581H686211Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, O hold [them] back.H2820H5337H3947H4194H4131H202712If you say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider [it] who weighs the hearts? And does He not know [it] who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work?H559H3045H8505H3826H995H5341H5315H3045H7725H120H646713My son, eat honey, for it is good, Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;H1121H398H1706H2896H5317H4966H244114Know [that] wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find [it,] then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off.H3045H2451H5315H4672H3426H319H8615H377215Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not destroy his resting place;H693H7563H5116H6662H7703H725816For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in [time of] calamity.H6662H5307H7651H6965H7563H3782H745117Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;H8055H341H5307H3820H1523H378218Lest the LORD see [it] and be displeased, And He turn away His anger from him.H3068H7200H7489H5869H7725H63919Do not fret because of evildoers, Or be envious of the wicked;H2734H7489H7065H756320For there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.H319H7451H5216H7563H184621My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those who are given to change;H1121H3372H3068H4428H6148H813822For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin [that comes] from both of them?H343H6965H6597H3045H6365H814723These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.H2450H2896H5234H6440H494124He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous," Peoples will curse him, nations will abhor him;H559H7563H6662H5971H5344H3816H219425But to those who rebuke the [wicked] will be delight, And a good blessing will come upon them.H3198H5276H2896H1293H93526He kisses the lips Who gives a right answer.H5401H8193H7725H5228H169727Prepare your work outside, And make it ready for yourself in the field; Afterwards, then, build your house.H3559H4399H2351H6257H7704H310H1129H100428Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, And do not deceive with your lips.H5707H7453H2600H6601H819329Do not say, "Thus I shall do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."H559H6213H6213H7725H376H646730I passed by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense;H5674H7704H376H6102H3754H120H2638H382031And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles, Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.H5927H7063H2738H3680H6440H68H1444H204032When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, [and] received instruction.H2372H7896H3820H7200H3947H414833"A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,"H4592H8142H4592H8572H4592H2264H3027H790134Then your poverty will come [as] a robber, And your want like an armed man.H7389H935H1980H4270H4043H376
