Proverbs 24:15-34

24:15

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>_:

24:16

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>_.

24:17

Rejoice
<08055> (8799)

not when thine enemy
<0341> (8802)

falleth
<05307> (8800)_,

and let not thine heart
<03820>

be glad
<01523> (8799)

when he stumbleth
<03782> (8736)_:

24:18

Lest the LORD
<03068>

see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and it displease
<07489> (8804) <05869>

him, and he turn away
<07725> (8689)

his wrath
<0639>

from him. {it displeaseth...: Heb. it be evil in his eyes}

24:19

Fret
<02734> (8691)

not thyself because of evil
<07489> (8688)

[men], neither be thou envious
<07065> (8762)

at the wicked
<07563>_;

{Fret...: or, Keep not company with the wicked}

24:20

For there shall be no reward
<0319>

to the evil
<07451>

[man]; the candle
<05216>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be put out
<01846> (8799)_.

{candle: or, lamp}

24:21

My son
<01121>_,

fear
<03372> (8798)

thou the LORD
<03068>

and the king
<04428>_:

[and] meddle
<06148> (8691)

not with them that are given to change
<08138> (8802)_:

{them...: Heb. changers}

24:22

For their calamity
<0343>

shall rise
<06965> (8799)

suddenly
<06597>_;

and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

the ruin
<06365>

of them both
<08147>_?

24:23

These [things] also [belong] to the wise
<02450>_.

[It is] not good
<02896>

to have respect
<05234> (8687)

of persons
<06440>

in judgment
<04941>_.

24:24

He that saith
<0559> (8802)

unto the wicked
<07563>_,

Thou [art] righteous
<06662>_;

him shall the people
<05971>

curse
<05344> (8799)_,

nations
<03816>

shall abhor
<02194> (8799)

him:

24:25

But to them that rebuke
<03198> (8688)

[him] shall be delight
<05276> (8799)_,

and a good
<02896>

blessing
<01293>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon them. {a good...: Heb. a blessing of good}

24:26

[Every man] shall kiss
<05401> (8799)

[his] lips
<08193>

that giveth
<07725> (8688)

a right
<05228>

answer
<01697>_.

{that...: Heb. that answereth right words}

24:27

Prepare
<03559> (8685)

thy work
<04399>

without
<02351>_,

and make it fit
<06257> (8761)

for thyself in the field
<07704>_;

and afterwards
<0310>

build
<01129> (8804)

thine house
<01004>_.

24:28

Be not a witness
<05707>

against thy neighbour
<07453>

without cause
<02600>_;

and deceive
<06601> (8765)

[not] with thy lips
<08193>_.

24:29

Say
<0559> (8799)

not, I will do
<06213> (8799)

so to him as he hath done
<06213> (8804)

to me: I will render
<07725> (8686)

to the man
<0376>

according to his work
<06467>_.

24:30

I went
<05674> (8804)

by the field
<07704>

of the slothful
<0376> <06102>_,

and by the vineyard
<03754>

of the man
<0120>

void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_;

24:31

And, lo, it was all grown over
<05927> (8804)

with thorns
<07063>_,

[and] nettles
<02738>

had covered
<03680> (8795)

the face
<06440>

thereof, and the stone
<068>

wall
<01444>

thereof was broken down
<02040> (8738)_.

24:32

Then I saw
<02372> (8799)_,

[and] considered [it] well
<07896> (8799) <03820>_:

I looked
<07200> (8804)

upon [it, and] received
<03947> (8804)

instruction
<04148>_.

{considered...: Heb. set my heart}

24:33

[Yet] a little
<04592>

sleep
<08142>_,

a little
<04592>

slumber
<08572>_,

a little
<04592>

folding
<02264>

of the hands
<03027>

to sleep
<07901> (8800)_:

24:34

So shall thy poverty
<07389>

come
<0935> (8804)

[as] one that travelleth
<01980> (8693)_;

and thy want
<04270>

as an armed
<04043>

man
<0376>_.

{an...: Heb. a man of shield}
