Proverbs 24:34 - Prayer Tents

Do Not Envy Evil Men

24Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;H7065H7451H582H183

2For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking.H3820H1897H7701H8193H1696H5999

3Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;H2451H1004H1129H8394H3559

4By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.H1847H2315H4390H3368H5273H1952

5A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;H2450H1397H5797H376H1847H553H3581

6For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.H8458H6213H4421H7230H3289H8668

7Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate.H2454H7311H191H6605H6310H8179

8He who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer.H2803H7489H7121H4209H1167

9The devising of foolishness is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to men.H2154H200H2403H3887H8441H120

10If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.H7503H3117H6869H3581H6862

11Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.H2820H5337H3947H4194H4131H2027

12If 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?H559H3045H8505H3826H995H5341H5315H3045H7725H120H6467

13My son, eat honey because it is good, And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;H1121H398H1706H2896H5317H4966H2441

14So 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.H3045H2451H5315H4672H3426H319H8615H3772

15Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not plunder his resting place;H693H7563H5116H6662H7703H7258

16For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.H6662H5307H7651H6965H7563H3782H7451

17Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;H8055H341H5307H3820H1523H3782

18Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him, And He turn away His wrath from him.H3068H7200H7489H5869H7725H639

19Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the wicked;H2734H7489H7065H7563

20For there will be no prospect for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.H319H7451H5216H7563H1846

21My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those given to change;H1121H3372H3068H4428H6148H8138

22For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin those two can bring?H343H6965H6597H3045H6365H8147

31And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down.H5927H7063H2738H3680H6440H68H1444H2040

32When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction:H2372H7896H3820H7200H3947H4148

33A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest;H4592H8142H4592H8572H4592H2264H3027H7901

34So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.H7389H935H1980H4270H4043H376
