Proverbs - Chapter: 24


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


24:1	Be not thou enuious against euill men, neither desire to be with them.
24:2	For their heart imagineth destruction, and their lippes speake mischiefe.
24:3	Through wisdome is an house builded, and with vnderstanding it is established.
24:4	And by knowledge shall the chambers bee filled with all precious, and pleasant riches.
24:5	A wise man is strong: for a man of vnderstanding encreaseth his strength.
24:6	For with counsel thou shalt enterprise thy warre, and in the multitude of them that can giue counsell, is health.
24:7	Wisdome is hie to a foole: therefore he can not open his mouth in the gate.
24:8	Hee that imagineth to doe euill, men shall call him an autour of wickednes.
24:9	The wicked thought of a foole is sinne, and the scorner is an abomination vnto men.
24:10	If thou bee faint in the day of aduersitie, thy strength is small.
24:11	Deliuer them that are drawen to death: wilt thou not preserue them that are led to be slaine?
24:12	If thou say, Beholde, we knew not of it: he that pondereth the heartes, doeth not hee vnderstand it? and hee that keepeth thy soule, knoweth he it not? will not he also recompense euery man according to his workes?
24:13	My sonne, eate hony, for it is good, and the hony combe, for it is sweete vnto thy mouth.
24:14	So shall the knowledge of wisdome be vnto thy soule, if thou finde it, and there shall be an ende, and thine hope shall not be cut off.
24:15	Laye no waite, O wicked man, against the house of the righteous, and spoyle not his resting place.
24:16	For a iust man falleth seuen times, and riseth againe: but the wicked fall into mischiefe.
24:17	Bee thou not glad when thine enemie falleth, and let not thine heart reioyce when hee stumbleth,
24:18	Least the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turne his wrath from him.
24:19	Fret not thy selfe because of the malicious, neither be enuious at the wicked.
24:20	For there shall bee none ende of plagues to the euill man: the light of the wicked shall bee put out.
24:21	My sonne feare the Lord, and the King, and meddle not with them that are sedicious.
24:22	For their destruction shall rise suddenly, and who knoweth the ruine of them both?
24:23	ALSO THESE THINGS PERTEINE TO THE WISE, It is not good to haue respect of any person in iudgement.
24:24	He that saith to the wicked, Thou art righteous, him shall the people curse, and the multitude shall abhorre him.
24:25	But to them that rebuke him, shall be pleasure, and vpon them shall come the blessing of goodnesse.
24:26	They shall kisse the lippes of him that answereth vpright wordes.
24:27	Prepare thy worke without, and make readie thy thinges in the fielde, and after, builde thine house.
24:28	Be not a witnes against thy neighbour without cause: for wilt thou deceiue with thy lippes?
24:29	Say not, I wil doe to him, as he hath done to mee, I will recompence euery man according to his worke.
24:30	I passed by the fielde of the slouthfull, and by the vineyarde of the man destitute of vnderstanding.
24:31	And lo, it was al growen ouer with thornes, and nettles had couered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken downe.
24:32	Then I behelde, and I considered it well: I looked vpon it, and receiued instruction.
24:33	Yet a litle sleepe, a litle slumber, a litle folding of the handes to sleepe.
24:34	So thy pouertie commeth as one that traueileth by the way, and thy necessitie like an armed man.
