Proverbs
24
Pro 24:1
Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with
them.
Pro 24:2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
Pro 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
Pro 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and
pleasant riches.
Pro 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of
knowledge increaseth strength.
Pro 24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is
safety.

a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

called a mischievous person.
Pro 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is
an abomination to men.
Pro 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is
small.
Pro 24:11 If thou forbear to deliver
them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be
slain;
Pro 24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and
he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
and shall not he render to every man
according to his works?
Pro 24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb,
which is sweet to thy taste:

then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
Pro 24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the
righteous; spoil not his resting place:
Pro 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times,
and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Pro 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD
and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
Pro 24:22 For their calamity shall
rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
Pro 24:23 These things also belong
to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
Pro 24:24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall
the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
Pro 24:25 But to them that rebuke him
shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
Pro 24:26 Every man shall kiss his
lips that giveth a right answer.
Pro 24:27 Prepare thy work without, and
make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine
house.
Pro 24:28 Be not a witness against
thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not
with thy lips.
Pro 24:29 Say not,
I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according
to his work.
Pro 24:30 I went by the field of
the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
Pro 24:31 And, lo, it was all grown
over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the
stone wall thereof was broken down.
Pro 24:32 Then I saw, and
considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
Pro 24:33 Yet a little sleep, a
little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Pro 24:34 So shall thy poverty come as
one that travelleth; and thy
want as an armed man.
