< Proverbs 24 >
1 Have no envy for evil men, or any desire to be with them:
May not you be jealous of people of evil and may not (you desire *Q(k)*) to be with them.
2 For the purposes of their hearts are destruction, and their lips are talking of trouble.
For violence it plots heart their and trouble lips their they speak.
3 The building of a house is by wisdom, and by reason it is made strong:
By wisdom it is built a house and by understanding it is established.
4 And by knowledge its rooms are full of all dear and pleasing things.
And by knowledge rooms they are filled all wealth precious and pleasant.
5 A wise man is strong; and a man of knowledge makes strength greater.
A man wise [who is] in strength and a person of knowledge [is] making firm strength.
6 For by wise guiding you will overcome in war: and in a number of wise guides there is salvation.
For by wise directions you will make for yourself war and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
7 Wisdom is outside the power of the foolish: he keeps his mouth shut in the public place.
[are] high For a fool wisdom in the gate not he opens mouth his.
8 He whose purposes are bad will be named a man of evil designs.
[one who] plans To do evil him master of plots people will call.
9 The purpose of the foolish is sin: and the hater of authority is disgusting to others.
A plan of foolishness [is] sin and [is] an abomination to humankind a mocker.
10 If you give way in the day of trouble, your strength is small.
You have shown yourself without courage in a day of trouble [is] narrow strength your.
11 Be the saviour of those who are given up to death, and do not keep back help from those who are slipping to destruction.
Deliver [those being] taken to death and [those who] are staggering to the slaughter if you will restrain.
12 If you say, See, we had no knowledge of this: does not the tester of hearts give thought to it? and he who keeps your soul, has he no knowledge of it? and will he not give to every man the reward of his work?
If you will say here! not we knew this ¿ not [one who] weighs hearts - he does he perceive and [one who] guards life your he does he know? and will he repay? to a person according to work his.
13 My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste:
Eat O son my honey for [it is] good and honey from [the] comb [is] sweet on palate your.
14 So let your desire be for wisdom: if you have it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Thus - know! wisdom for self your if you find [it] and there [is] a future and hope your not it will be cut off.
15 Do not keep a secret watch, O evil-doer, against the fields of the upright man, or send destruction on his resting-place:
May not you lie in wait wicked [person] to [the] habitation of a righteous [person] may not you devastate resting place his.
16 For an upright man, after falling seven times, will get up again: but trouble is the downfall of the evil.
For seven [times] - he will fall a righteous [person] and he will rise and wicked [people] they will stumble in trouble.
17 Do not be glad at the fall of your hater, and let not your heart have joy at his downfall:
When falls (enemy your *Q(K)*) may not you rejoice and when stumbles he may not it rejoice heart your.
18 For fear that the Lord may see it, and it may be evil in his eyes, and his wrath may be turned away from him.
Lest he should see Yahweh and it will be displeasing in view his and he will turn back from towards him anger his.
19 Do not be troubled because of evil-doers, or have envy of sinners:
May not you fret yourself by evil-doers may not you be jealous of wicked [people].
20 For there will be no future for the evil man; the light of sinners will be put out.
For - not it will belong a future to the evil [person] [the] lamp of wicked [people] it will be extinguished.
21 My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:
Fear Yahweh O son my and [the] king with [those who] change may not you get involved.
22 For their downfall will come suddenly; and who has knowledge of the destruction of those in high positions?
For suddenly it will arise calamity their and [the] disaster of both of them who? [is] knowing.
23 These are more sayings of the wise: To have respect for a person's position when judging is not good.
Also these [belong] to wise [people] to pay regard to face in judgment not [is] good.
24 He who says to the evil-doer, You are upright, will be cursed by peoples and hated by nations.
[one who] says - To a wicked [person] [are] righteous you they will curse him peoples they will denounce him nations.
25 But those who say sharp words to him will have delight, and a blessing of good will come on them.
And for the [ones who] rebuke [them] it will be pleasant and on them it will come blessing of good thing[s].
26 He gives a kiss with his lips who gives a right answer.
Lips he kisses [one who] bring back words right.
27 Put your work in order outside, and make it ready in the field; and after that, see to the building of your house.
Establish on the outside - work your and make ready it in the field for yourself after and you will build house your.
28 Do not be a violent witness against your neighbour, or let your lips say what is false.
May not you be a witness without cause in neighbor your and ¿ will you deceive with lips your.
29 Say not, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will give the man the reward of his work.
May not you say just as he has done to me so I will do to him I will repay to the person according to deed his.
30 I went by the field of the hater of work, and by the vine-garden of the man without sense;
At [the] field of a person lazy I passed by and at [the] vineyard of a person lacking of heart.
31 And it was all full of thorns, and covered with waste plants, and its stone wall was broken down.
And there! it had grown up all of it - thorns they were covered surface its nettles and [the] wall of stones its it was broken down.
32 Then looking at it, I gave thought: I saw, and I got teaching from it.
And I saw I I set heart my I saw I received instruction.
33 A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
34 So loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man.
And it will come going about poverty your and poverti your like a man of shield.
