Proverbs - Chapter: 24


24:1	Be not thou enuious against euill men, neither desire to be with them.
24:2	For their heart studieth destruction, and their lippes talke of mischiefe.
24:3	Through wisedome is an house builded, and by 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, yea a man of knowledge encreaseth strength.
24:6	For by wise counsell thou shalt make thy warre: and in multitude of counsellers there is safetie.
24:7	Wisedome is too high for a foole: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
24:8	He that deuiseth to doe euill, shall be called a mischieuous person.
24:9	The thought of foolishnesse is sinne: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
24:10	If thou faint in the day of aduersitie, thy strength is small:
24:11	If thou forbeare to deliuer them that are drawen vnto death, and those that are ready to be slaine:
24:12	If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not: doth not he that pondereth the heart, consider it? and he that keepeth thy soule, doth not he know it? and shall not hee render to euery man according to his workes?
24:13	My sonne, eate thou honie, because it is good, and the honie combe, which is sweete to thy taste.
24:14	So shall the knowledge of wisedome be vnto thy soule: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
24:15	Lay not waite, (O wicked man) against the dwelling of the righteous: spoile not his resting place.
24:16	For a iust man falleth seuen times, and riseth vp againe: but the wicked shall fall into mischiefe.
24:17	Reioyce not when thine enemie falleth: and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
24:18	Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and hee turne away his wrath from him.
24:19	Fret not thy selfe because of euill men; neither be thou enuious at the wicked.
24:20	For there shall be no reward to the euill man: the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
24:21	My sonne, feare thou the Lord, and the king: and medle not with them that are giuen to change.
24:22	For their calamity shall rise suddenly, and who knoweth the ruine of them both?
24:23	These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to haue respect of persons in iudgement.
24:24	He that sayth vnto the wicked, Thou art righteous, him shall the people curse; nations shall abhorre him:
24:25	But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come vpon them.
24:26	Euery man shall kisse his lippes that giueth a right answere.
24:27	Prepare thy worke without, and make it fit for thy selfe in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
24:28	Be not a witnesse against thy neighbour without cause: and deceiue not with thy lippes.
24:29	Say not, I will doe so to him as he hath done to mee: I will render to the man according to his worke.
24:30	I went by the field of the slouthfull, and by the vineyard of the man voyd of vnderstanding:
24:31	And loe, it was all growen ouer with thornes, and nettles had couered the face thereof, and the stone wall therof was broken downe:
24:32	Then I saw, and considered it well, I looked vpon it, and receiued instruction.
24:33	Yet a little sleepe, a little slumber, a little folding of the handes to sleepe:
24:34	So shall thy pouertie come, as one that traueileth, 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.


24:1	Be not thou gelous ouer wycked men, and desyre not to be amonge them.
24:2	For ther herte ymagyneth to do hurte, and theyr lyppes talke of myschefe.
24:3	Thorow wysdome is an house buyled, and wyth vnderstandynge is it sett vp.
24:4	Thorow discrecion shalt the chambers be fylled with all costly and pleasaunt ryches.
24:5	A wyse man is euer stronge, yee, a man of vnderstanding encreaseth of strength.
24:6	For with discrecyon must warres be taken in hande, & where as are many that can geue councell, there is the victory.
24:7	Wysdom is to hye a thinge for a fole, for he darre not open his mouth in the gate.
24:8	He that ymagyneth myschefe, maye welbe called an vngracious personne.
24:9	The thought of the foolysh is synne, & the scornefull is an abhominacion vnto men.
24:10	If thou be ouersene and negligent in tyme of nede, then is thy strength but smal.
24:11	Deliuer them that go vnto death, & are led awaye to be slayne, & be not neglygent therin yf thou be able to do them good.
24:12	If thou wilt saye: I knewe not of it. Thinkest thou that he which made the hertes, doth not considre it? & that he which regardeth thy soule, seeth it not? Shall not be recompence euery man according to his worckes?
24:13	My sonne, thou eatest hony & the swete hony combe, because it is good & swete in thy mouth.
24:14	Euen so shall the knowledge of wysdome be vnto thy soule, assone as thou hast gotten it. And thow shalt haue longe dayes, yee, thy hope shall not be in vayne.
24:15	Laye no preuy wayte (o wicked man) vpon the house of the ryghteous & disquiete not his restyng place.
24:16	For a iust man falleth seuen tymes, & ryseth vp agayne, but the vngodly fall into wyckednes.
24:17	Reioyce not thou at the fall of thyne enemye, & lett not thyne herte be glad when he stombleth.
24:18	Lest the Lord (when seith it) be angrye, and turne hys wrath from hym vnto the.
24:19	Let not thy wrath & gelousy moue the, to folowe the wycked & vngodly.
24:20	And why? the wicked shall haue no posterite, and the candle of the vngodly shall be put out.
24:21	My sonne, feare thou the Lord & the kynge, & kepe no company wt them that slyde backe from his feare:
24:22	for theyr destruccion shall come sodenly, & who knoweth the aduersyte that maye come from them both?
24:23	These are also the sayenges of the wyse. It is not good, to haue respecte of any persone in iudgement.
24:24	He that sayeth to the vngodly: thou arte ryghteous hym shall the people curse, yee, the comentie shall abhorre him.
24:25	But they that rebuke the vngodly, In them doth God delite, & a ryche blessyng shall come vpon them.
24:26	Euery man shall kysse his lyppes, that geueth a good answere.
24:27	Fyrst make vp thy worck that is without, & loke well vnto that which thou hast in the felde & then buylde thyne house.
24:28	Be no false witnesse agaist thy neyghbour & speake no falshode wt thy lyppes.
24:29	Saye not: I will handle him, euen as he hath dealte wt me, & wyll rewarde euery man accordinge to his dedes.
24:30	I went by the felde of the slouthfull, & by the vyneiarde of the foolysh man.
24:31	And lo, it was all couered wt nettels, & stode full of thystles, & the stone wall was broken downe.
24:32	Thys I sawe, & considered it well: I loked vpon it, & toke it for a warnyng.
24:33	Yee, slepe on styll a lytle, slombre a lytle, folde thy handes together yet a lytle:
24:34	so shall pouerte come vnto the as one that trauayleth by the waye, & necessite lyke a weapened man.
