Proverbs 24
Precepts And Warnings
Nor desire to be with them;
And their lips talk of trouble.
And by understanding it is established;
With all precious and pleasant riches.
And a man of knowledge increases power.
And in abundance of counselors there is victory.
He does not open his mouth in the gate.
Men will call a schemer.
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
Your strength is limited.
And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts?
And does He not know it who keeps your soul?
And will He not render to man according to his work?
Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;
If you find it, then there will be a future,
And your hope will not be cut off.
Do not destroy his resting place;
But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
And turn His anger away from him.
Or be envious of the wicked;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
Do not associate with those who are given to change,
And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?
To show partiality in judgment is not good.
Peoples will curse him, nations will abhor him;
And a good blessing will come upon them.
Who gives a right answer.
And make it ready for yourself in the field;
Afterwards, then, build your house.
And do not deceive with your lips.
I will render to the man according to his work.”
And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,
Its surface was covered with nettles,
And its stone wall was broken down.
I looked, and received instruction.
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
And your want like an armed man.
