Verse
Proverbs - ch 24 v 1 - 20
- Don't be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:
- for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about mischief.
- Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
- by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
- A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;
- for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors.
- Wisdom is too high for a fool: he doesn't open his mouth in the gate.
- One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
- The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
- If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
- Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
- If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
- My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:
- so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, your hope will not be cut off.
- Don't lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don't destroy his resting place:
- for a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
- Don't rejoice when your enemy falls. Don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
- lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
- Don't fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:
- for there will be no reward to the evil man; and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
