Proverbs 24:21-34

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}

For their calamity
<0343>

shall rise
<06965> (8799)

suddenly
<06597>_;

and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

the ruin
<06365>

of them both
<08147>_?

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

[It is] not good
<02896>

to have respect
<05234> (8687)

of persons
<06440>

in judgment
<04941>_.

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:

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}

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

[his] lips
<08193>

that giveth
<07725> (8688)

a right
<05228>

answer
<01697>_.

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

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>_.

Be not a witness
<05707>

against thy neighbour
<07453>

without cause
<02600>_;

and deceive
<06601> (8765)

[not] with thy lips
<08193>_.

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>_.

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>_;

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)_.

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}

[Yet] a little
<04592>

sleep
<08142>_,

a little
<04592>

slumber
<08572>_,

a little
<04592>

folding
<02264>

of the hands
<03027>

to sleep
<07901> (8800)_:

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}
