Chapter 24
Be
not
thou
envious
against
evil
men,
neither
desire
to
be
with
them.
2
For
their
heart
studieth
destruction,
and
their
lips
talk
of
mischief.
3
Through
wisdom
is
an
house
builded;
and
by
understanding
it
is
established:
4
And
by
knowledge
shall
the
chambers
be
filled
with
all
precious
and
pleasant
riches.
5
A
wise
man
is
strong;
yea,
a
man
of
knowledge
increaseth
strength.
6
For
by
wise
counsel
thou
shalt
make
thy
war:
and
in
multitude
of
counsellers
there
is
safety.
7
Wisdom
is
too
high
for
a
fool:
he
openeth
not
his
mouth
in
the
gate.
8
He
that
deviseth
to
do
evil
shall
be
called
a
mischievous
person.
9
The
thought
of
foolishness
is
sin:
and
the
scorner
is
an
abomination
to
men.
10
If
thou
faint
in
the
day
of
adversity,
thy
strength
is
small.
11
If
thou
forbear
to
deliver
them
that
are
drawn
unto
death,
and
those
that
are
ready
to
be
slain;
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?
13
My
son,
eat
thou
honey,
because
it
is
good;
and
the
honeycomb,
which
is
sweet
to
thy
taste:
14
So
shall
the
knowledge
of
wisdom
be
unto
thy
soul:
when
thou
hast
found
it,
then
there
shall
be
a
reward,
and
thy
expectation
shall
not
be
cut
off.
15
Lay
not
wait,
O
wicked
man,
against
the
dwelling
of
the
righteous;
spoil
not
his
resting
place:
16
For
a
just
man
falleth
seven
times,
and
riseth
up
again:
but
the
wicked
shall
fall
into
mischief.
17
Rejoice
not
when
thine
enemy
falleth,
and
let
not
thine
heart
be
glad
when
he
stumbleth:
18
Lest
the
Lord
see
it,
and
it
displease
him,
and
he
turn
away
his
wrath
from
him.
19
Fret
not
thyself
because
of
evil
men,
neither
be
thou
envious
at
the
wicked;
20
For
there
shall
be
no
reward
to
the
evil
man;
the
candle
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
21
My
son,
fear
thou
the
Lord
and
the
king:
and
meddle
not
with
them
that
are
given
to
change:
22
For
their
calamity
shall
rise
suddenly;
and
who
knoweth
the
ruin
of
them
both?
23
These
things
also
belong
to
the
wise.
It
is
not
good
to
have
respect
of
persons
in
judgment.
24
He
that
saith
unto
the
wicked,
Thou
art
righteous;
him
shall
the
people
curse,
nations
shall
abhor
him:
25
But
to
them
that
rebuke
him
shall
be
delight,
and
a
good
blessing
shall
come
upon
them.
26
Every
man
shall
kiss
his
lips
that
giveth
a
right
answer.
27
Prepare
thy
work
without,
and
make
it
fit
for
thyself
in
the
field;
and
afterwards
build
thine
house.
28
Be
not
a
witness
against
thy
neighbour
without
cause;
and
deceive
not
with
thy
lips.
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.
30
I
went
by
the
field
of
the
slothful,
and
by
the
vineyard
of
the
man
void
of
understanding;
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.
32
Then
I
saw,
and
considered
it
well:
I
looked
upon
it,
and
received
instruction.
33
Yet
a
little
sleep,
a
little
slumber,
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
sleep:
34
So
shall
thy
poverty
come
as
one
that
travelleth;
and
thy
want
as
an
armed
man.
