Verse
Proverbs - ch 24 v 1 - 20
- Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
- Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
- By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.
- By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.
- A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.
- Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.
- Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
- He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
- The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
- If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.
- Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.
- If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, end he shall render to a man according to his works.
- Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
- So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
- Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
- For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
- When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
- Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
- Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
- For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
