24:1 Be
not
envious
of
evil
men,
nor
desire
to
be
with
them,
24:2 for
their
hearts
devise
violence,
and
their
lips
talk
of
trouble.
24:3 By
wisdom
a
house
is
built,
and
by
understanding
it
is
established;
24:4 by
knowledge
the
rooms
are
filled
with
all
precious
and
pleasant
riches.
24:5 A
wise
man
is
full
of
strength,
and
a
man
of
knowledge
enhances
his
might,
24:6 for
by
wise
guidance
you
can
wage
your
war,
and
in
abundance
of
counselors
there
is
victory.
24:7 Wisdom
is
too
high
for
a
fool;
in
the
gate
he
does
not
open
his
mouth.
24:8 Whoever
plans
to
do
evil
will
be
called
a
schemer.
24:9 The
devising
of
folly
is
sin,
and
the
scoffer
is
an
abomination
to
mankind.
24:10 If
you
faint
in
the
day
of
adversity,
your
strength
is
small.
24:11 Rescue
those
who
are
being
taken
away
to
death;
hold
back
those
who
are
stumbling
to
the
slaughter.
24:12 If
you
say,
"Behold,
we
did
not
know
this,"
does
not
he
who
weighs
the
heart
perceive
it
Does
not
he
who
keeps
watch
over
your
soul
know
it,
and
will
he
not
repay
man
according
to
his
work
24:13 My
son,
eat
honey,
for
it
is
good,
and
the
drippings
of
the
honeycomb
are
sweet
to
your
taste.
24:14 Know
that
wisdom
is
such
to
your
soul;
if
you
find
it,
there
will
be
a
future,
and
your
hope
will
not
be
cut
off.
24:15 Lie
not
in
wait
as
a
wicked
man
against
the
dwelling
of
the
righteous;
do
no
violence
to
his
home;
24:16 for
the
righteous
falls
seven
times
and
rises
again,
but
the
wicked
stumble
in
times
of
calamity.
24:17 Do
not
rejoice
when
your
enemy
falls,
and
let
not
your
heart
be
glad
when
he
stumbles,
24:18 lest
the
LORD
see
it
and
be
displeased,
and
turn
away
his
anger
from
him.
24:19 Fret
not
yourself
because
of
evildoers,
and
be
not
envious
of
the
wicked,
24:20 for
the
evil
man
has
no
future;
the
lamp
of
the
wicked
will
be
put
out.
24:21 My
son,
fear
the
LORD
and
the
king,
and
do
not
join
with
those
who
do
otherwise,
24:22 for
disaster
will
arise
suddenly
from
them,
and
who
knows
the
ruin
that
will
come
from
them
both
24:23 These
also
are
sayings
of
the
wise.
Partiality
in
judging
is
not
good.
24:24 Whoever
says
to
the
wicked,
"You
are
in
the
right,"
will
be
cursed
by
peoples,
abhorred
by
nations,
24:25 but
those
who
rebuke
the
wicked
will
have
delight,
and
a
good
blessing
will
come
upon
them.
24:26 Whoever
gives
an
honest
answer
kisses
the
lips.
24:27 Prepare
your
work
outside;
get
everything
ready
for
yourself
in
the
field,
and
after
that
build
your
house.
24:28 Be
not
a
witness
against
your
neighbor
without
cause,
and
do
not
deceive
with
your
lips.
24:29 Do
not
say,
"I
will
do
to
him
as
he
has
done
to
me;
I
will
pay
the
man
back
for
what
he
has
done."
24:30 I
passed
by
the
field
of
a
sluggard,
by
the
vineyard
of
a
man
lacking
sense,
24:31 and
behold,
it
was
all
overgrown
with
thorns;
the
ground
was
covered
with
nettles,
and
its
stone
wall
was
broken
down.
24:32 Then
I
saw
and
considered
it;
I
looked
and
received
instruction.
24:33 A
little
sleep,
a
little
slumber,
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
rest,
24:34 and
poverty
will
come
upon
you
like
a
robber,
and
want
like
an
armed
man.
