Proverbs 24

1BeH1961 not thou envious against evilH7451 menH376; Neither desireH183 to beH1961 with them:2For their heartH3820 studieth oppression, And their lipsH8193 talk of mischiefH5999.3Through wisdomH2451 is a houseH1004 builded; And by understandingH8394 it is establishedH3559;4And by knowledgeH1847 are the chambersH2315 filledH4390 With all preciousH3368 and pleasantH5273 riches.5A wiseH2450 manH376 is strong; Yea, a manH376 of knowledgeH1847 increaseth might.6For by wiseH8458 guidance thou shalt makeH6213 thy warH4421; And in the multitudeH7230 of counsellors there is safety.7Wisdom is too highH7311 for a foolH191: He openeth not his mouthH6310 in the gateH8179.8He that deviseth to do evilH4209, Men shall callH7121 him a mischief-maker.9The thought of foolishnessH200 is sinH2403; And the scoffer is an abominationH8441 to menH120.10If thou faint in the dayH3117 of adversity, Thy strengthH3581 is small.11DeliverH5337 them that are carried awayH3947 unto deathH4194, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold backH2820.12If thou sayest, Behold, we knewH3045 not this; Doth not he that weigheth the heartsH3826 considerH995 it? And he that keepeth thy soulH5315, doth not he knowH3045 it? And shall not he render to every manH120 according to his workH6467?13My sonH1121, eatH398 thou honeyH1706, for it is goodH2896; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweetH4966 to thy taste:14SoH3651 shalt thou knowH3045 wisdomH2451 to be unto thy soulH5315; If thou hast foundH4672 it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hopeH8615 shall not be cutH3772 off.15LayH693 not waitH693, O wickedH7563 man, against the habitation of the righteousH6662; DestroyH7703 not his resting-place:16For a righteousH6662 man falleth sevenH7651 times, and riseth up again; But the wickedH7563 are overthrown by calamityH7451.17RejoiceH8055 not when thine enemyH341 falleth, And let not thy heartH3820 be gladH8055 when he is overthrown;18LestH6435 Jehovah seeH7200 it, and it displease him, And he turnH7725 awayH7725 his wrath from him.19FretH2734 not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wickedH7563:20For there shall beH1961 no reward to the evilH7451 man; The lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 shall beH1961 put out.21My sonH1121, fearH3372 thou Jehovah and the kingH4428; And company not with them that are given to change:22For their calamityH343 shall riseH6965 suddenlyH6597; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
