24:1 Be
not
thou
enuious
against
euill
men,
neither
desire
to
be
with
them.
24:2 For
their
heart
studieth
destruction,
and
their
lippes
talke
of
mischiefe.
24:3 Through
wisedome
is
an
house
builded,
and
by
vnderstanding
it
is
established.
24:4 And
by
knowledge
shall
the
chambers
bee
filled
with
all
precious
and
pleasant
riches.
24:5 A
wise
man
is
strong,
yea
a
man
of
knowledge
encreaseth
strength.
24:6 For
by
wise
counsell
thou
shalt
make
thy
warre:
and
in
multitude
of
counsellers
there
is
safetie.
24:7 Wisedome
is
too
high
for
a
foole:
he
openeth
not
his
mouth
in
the
gate.
24:8 He
that
deuiseth
to
doe
euill,
shall
be
called
a
mischieuous
person.
24:9 The
thought
of
foolishnesse
is
sinne:
and
the
scorner
is
an
abomination
to
men.
24:10 If
thou
faint
in
the
day
of
aduersitie,
thy
strength
is
small:
24:11 If
thou
forbeare
to
deliuer
them
that
are
drawen
vnto
death,
and
those
that
are
ready
to
be
slaine:
24:12 If
thou
sayest,
Behold,
we
knew
it
not:
doth
not
he
that
pondereth
the
heart,
consider
it
and
he
that
keepeth
thy
soule,
doth
not
he
know
it
and
shall
not
hee
render
to
euery
man
according
to
his
workes
24:13 My
sonne,
eate
thou
honie,
because
it
is
good,
and
the
honie
combe,
which
is
sweete
to
thy
taste.
24:14 So
shall
the
knowledge
of
wisedome
be
vnto
thy
soule:
when
thou
hast
found
it,
then
there
shall
be
a
reward,
and
thy
expectation
shall
not
be
cut
off.
24:15 Lay
not
waite,
(O
wicked
man)
against
the
dwelling
of
the
righteous:
spoile
not
his
resting
place.
24:16 For
a
iust
man
falleth
seuen
times,
and
riseth
vp
againe:
but
the
wicked
shall
fall
into
mischiefe.
24:17 Reioyce
not
when
thine
enemie
falleth:
and
let
not
thine
heart
be
glad
when
he
stumbleth:
24:18 Lest
the
Lord
see
it,
and
it
displease
him,
and
hee
turne
away
his
wrath
from
him.
24:19 Fret
not
thy
selfe
because
of
euill
men;
neither
be
thou
enuious
at
the
wicked.
24:20 For
there
shall
be
no
reward
to
the
euill
man:
the
candle
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
24:21 My
sonne,
feare
thou
the
Lord,
and
the
king:
and
medle
not
with
them
that
are
giuen
to
change.
24:22 For
their
calamity
shall
rise
suddenly,
and
who
knoweth
the
ruine
of
them
both
24:23 These
things
also
belong
to
the
wise:
It
is
not
good
to
haue
respect
of
persons
in
iudgement.
24:24 He
that
sayth
vnto
the
wicked,
Thou
art
righteous,
him
shall
the
people
curse;
nations
shall
abhorre
him:
24:25 But
to
them
that
rebuke
him
shall
be
delight,
and
a
good
blessing
shall
come
vpon
them.
24:26 Euery
man
shall
kisse
his
lippes
that
giueth
a
right
answere.
24:27 Prepare
thy
worke
without,
and
make
it
fit
for
thy
selfe
in
the
field;
and
afterwards
build
thine
house.
24:28 Be
not
a
witnesse
against
thy
neighbour
without
cause:
and
deceiue
not
with
thy
lippes.
24:29 Say
not,
I
will
doe
so
to
him
as
he
hath
done
to
mee:
I
will
render
to
the
man
according
to
his
worke.
24:30 I
went
by
the
field
of
the
slouthfull,
and
by
the
vineyard
of
the
man
voyd
of
vnderstanding:
24:31 And
loe,
it
was
all
growen
ouer
with
thornes,
and
nettles
had
couered
the
face
thereof,
and
the
stone
wall
therof
was
broken
downe:
24:32 Then
I
saw,
and
considered
it
well,
I
looked
vpon
it,
and
receiued
instruction.
24:33 Yet
a
little
sleepe,
a
little
slumber,
a
little
folding
of
the
handes
to
sleepe:
24:34 So
shall
thy
pouertie
come,
as
one
that
traueileth,
and
thy
want,
as
an
armed
man.
