Proverbes 24

1Be not thou envious^H7065 against evil^H7451 men^H582; Neither desire^H183 to be with them: 2For their heart^H3820 studieth^H1897 oppression^H7701, And their lips^H8193 talk^H1696 of mischief^H5999. 3Through wisdom^H2451 is a house^H1004 builded^H1129; And by understanding^H8394 it is established^H3559; 4And by knowledge^H1847 are the chambers^H2315 filled^H4390 With all precious^H3368 and pleasant^H5273 riches^H1952. 5A wise^H2450 man^H1397 is strong^H5797; Yea, a man^H376 of knowledge^H1847 increaseth^H553 might^H3581. 6For by wise guidance^H8458 thou shalt make^H6213 thy war^H4421; And in the multitude^H7230 of counsellors^H3289 there is safety^H8668. 7Wisdom^H2454 is too high^H7311 for a fool^H191: He openeth^H6605 not his mouth^H6310 in the gate^H8179. 8He that deviseth^H2803 to do evil^H7489, Men shall call^H7121 him a mischief^H4209-maker^H1167. 9The thought^H2154 of foolishness^H200 is sin^H2403; And the scoffer^H3887 is an abomination^H8441 to men^H120. 10If thou faint^H7503 in the day^H3117 of adversity^H6869, Thy strength^H3581 is small^H6862. 11Deliver^H5337 them that are carried^H3947 away unto death^H4194, And those that are ready^H4131 to be slain^H4194 see that thou hold back^H2820. 12If thou sayest^H559, Behold, we knew^H3045 not this; Doth not he that weigheth^H8505 the hearts^H3826 consider^H995 it? And he that keepeth^H5341 thy soul^H5315, doth not he know^H3045 it? And shall not he render^H7725 to every man^H120 according to his work^H6467? 13My son^H1121, eat^H398 thou honey^H1706, for it is good^H2896; And the droppings of the honeycomb^H5317, which are sweet^H4966 to thy taste^H2441: 14So shalt thou know^H3045 wisdom^H2451 to be unto thy soul^H5315; If thou hast found^H4672 it, then shall there be^H3426 a reward^H319, And thy hope^H8615 shall not be cut off^H3772. 15Lay not wait^H693, O wicked^H7563 man, against the habitation^H5116 of the righteous^H6662; Destroy^H7703 not his resting-place^H7258: 16For a righteous^H6662 man falleth^H5307 seven times^H7651, and riseth up again^H6965; But the wicked^H7563 are overthrown^H3782 by calamity^H7451. 17Rejoice^H8055 not when thine enemy^H341 falleth^H5307, And let not thy heart^H3820 be glad^H1523 when he is overthrown^H3782; 18Lest Jehovah^H3068 see^H7200 it, and it displease^H7489 him, And he turn away^H7725 his wrath^H639 from him. 19Fret^H2734 not thyself because of evil-doers^H7489; Neither be thou envious^H7065 at the wicked^H7563: 20For there shall be no reward^H319 to the evil^H7451 man; The lamp^H5216 of the wicked^H7563 shall be put out^H1846. 21My son^H1121, fear^H3372 thou Jehovah^H3068 and the king^H4428; And company^H6148 not with them that are given to change^H8138: 22For their calamity^H343 shall rise^H6965 suddenly^H6597; And the destruction^H6365 from them both^H8147, who knoweth^H3045 it? 23These also are sayings of the wise^H2450. To have respect^H5234 of persons^H6440 in judgment^H4941 is not good^H2896. 24He that saith^H559 unto the wicked^H7563, Thou art righteous^H6662; Peoples^H5971 shall curse^H5344 him, nations^H5971 shall abhor^H2194 him: 25But to them that rebuke^H3198 him shall be delight^H5276, And a good^H2896 blessing^H1293 shall come^H935 upon them. 26He kisseth^H5401 the lips^H8193 Who giveth^H7725 a right^H5228 answer^H1697. 27Prepare^H3559 thy work^H4399 without^H2351, And make it ready^H6257 for thee in the field^H7704; And afterwards^H310 build^H1129 thy house^H1004. 28Be not a witness^H5707 against thy neighbor^H7453 without cause^H2600; And deceive^H6601 not with thy lips^H8193. 29Say^H559 not, I will do^H6213 so to him as he hath done^H6213 to me; I will render^H7725 to the man^H376 according to his work^H6467. 30I went^H5674 by the field^H7704 of the sluggard^H376, And by the vineyard^H3754 of the man^H120 void^H2638 of understanding^H3820; 31And, lo, it was all grown over^H5927 with thorns^H7063, The face^H6440 thereof was covered^H3680 with nettles^H2738, And the stone^H68 wall^H1444 thereof was broken down^H2040. 32Then I beheld^H2372, and considered well^H7896; I saw^H2372, and received^H3947 instruction^H4148: 33 Yet a little^H4592 sleep^H8142, a little^H4592 slumber^H8572, A little^H4592 folding^H2264 of the hands^H3027 to sleep^H7901; 34So shall thy poverty^H7389 come^H935 as a robber^H1980, And thy want^H4270 as an armed^H4043 man^H376.
