Proverbs 24:1-16

Be not thou envious
<07065> (8762)

against evil
<07451>

men
<0582>_,

neither desire
<0183> (8691)

to be with them.

For their heart
<03820>

studieth
<01897> (8799)

destruction
<07701>_,

and their lips
<08193>

talk
<01696> (8762)

of mischief
<05999>_.

Through wisdom
<02451>

is an house
<01004>

builded
<01129> (8735)_;

and by understanding
<08394>

it is established
<03559> (8709)_:

And by knowledge
<01847>

shall the chambers
<02315>

be filled
<04390> (8735)

with all precious
<03368>

and pleasant
<05273>

riches
<01952>_.

A wise
<02450>

man
<01397>

[is] strong
<05797>_;

yea, a man
<0376>

of knowledge
<01847>

increaseth
<0553> (8764)

strength
<03581>_.

{is strong: Heb. is in strength} {increaseth...: Heb. strengtheneth might}

For by wise counsel
<08458>

thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)

thy war
<04421>_:

and in multitude
<07230>

of counsellors
<03289> (8802)

[there is] safety
<08668>_.

Wisdom
<02454>

[is] too high
<07311> (8802)

for a fool
<0191>_:

he openeth
<06605> (8799)

not his mouth
<06310>

in the gate
<08179>_.

He that deviseth
<02803> (8764)

to do evil
<07489> (8687)

shall be called
<07121> (8799)

a mischievous
<04209>

person
<01167>_.

The thought
<02154>

of foolishness
<0200>

[is] sin
<02403>_:

and the scorner
<03887> (8801)

[is] an abomination
<08441>

to men
<0120>_.

[If] thou faint
<07503> (8694)

in the day
<03117>

of adversity
<06869>_,

thy strength
<03581>

[is] small
<06862>_.

{small: Heb. narrow}

If thou forbear
<02820> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8685)

[them that are] drawn
<03947> (8803)

unto death
<04194>_,

and [those that are] ready
<04131> (8801)

to be slain
<02027>_;

If thou sayest
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, we knew
<03045> (8804)

it not; doth not he that pondereth
<08505> (8802)

the heart
<03826>

consider
<0995> (8799)

[it]? and he that keepeth
<05341> (8802)

thy soul
<05315>_,

doth [not] he know
<03045> (8799)

[it]? and shall [not] he render
<07725> (8689)

to [every] man
<0120>

according to his works
<06467>_?

My son
<01121>_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

thou honey
<01706>_,

because [it is] good
<02896>_;

and the honeycomb
<05317>_,

[which is] sweet
<04966>

to thy taste
<02441>_:

{to...: Heb. upon thy palate}

So [shall] the knowledge
<03045> (8798)

of wisdom
<02451>

[be] unto thy soul
<05315>_:

when thou hast found
<04672> (8804)

[it], then there shall be
<03426>

a reward
<0319>_,

and thy expectation
<08615>

shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

Lay not wait
<0693> (8799)_,

O wicked
<07563>

[man], against the dwelling
<05116>

of the righteous
<06662>_;

spoil
<07703> (8762)

not his resting place
<07258>_:

For a just
<06662>

[man] falleth
<05307> (8799)

seven times
<07651>_,

and riseth up again
<06965> (8804)_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall fall
<03782> (8735)

into mischief
<07451>_.
