Proverbs - ch 24 v 1 - 20
- Be not thou envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;
- for their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
- Through wisdom is a house built, and by understanding it is established;
- and by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious and pleasant substance.
- A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
- For with good advice shalt thou make thy war; and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
- Wisdom is too high for a fool: he will not open his mouth in the gate.
- He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a master of intrigues.
- The purpose of folly is sin, and the scorner is an abomination to men.
- If thou losest courage in the day of trouble, thy strength is small.
- Deliver them that are taken forth unto death, and withdraw not from them that stagger to slaughter.
- If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not, will not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that preserveth thy soul, he knoweth it; and he rendereth to man according to his work.
- Eat honey, my son, for it is good; and a honeycomb is sweet to thy taste:
- so consider wisdom for thy soul; if thou hast found it, there shall be a result, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
- Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; lay not waste his resting-place.
- For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.
- Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy heart be glad when he stumbleth;
- lest Jehovah see it, and it be evil in his sight, and he turn away his anger from him.
