< Proverbs 24 >

1 May not you be jealous of people of evil and may not (you desire *Q(k)*) to be with them.
Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
2 For violence it plots heart their and trouble lips their they speak.
Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
3 By wisdom it is built a house and by understanding it is established.
By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.
4 And by knowledge rooms they are filled all wealth precious and pleasant.
By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.
5 A man wise [who is] in strength and a person of knowledge [is] making firm strength.
A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.
6 For by wise directions you will make for yourself war and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.
7 [are] high For a fool wisdom in the gate not he opens mouth his.
Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
8 [one who] plans To do evil him master of plots people will call.
He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
9 A plan of foolishness [is] sin and [is] an abomination to humankind a mocker.
The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
10 You have shown yourself without courage in a day of trouble [is] narrow strength your.
If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.
11 Deliver [those being] taken to death and [those who] are staggering to the slaughter if you will restrain.
Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.
12 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.
If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works.
13 Eat O son my honey for [it is] good and honey from [the] comb [is] sweet on palate your.
Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
14 Thus - know! wisdom for self your if you find [it] and there [is] a future and hope your not it will be cut off.
So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
15 May not you lie in wait wicked [person] to [the] habitation of a righteous [person] may not you devastate resting place his.
Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
16 For seven [times] - he will fall a righteous [person] and he will rise and wicked [people] they will stumble in trouble.
For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
17 When falls (enemy your *Q(K)*) may not you rejoice and when stumbles he may not it rejoice heart your.
When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
18 Lest he should see Yahweh and it will be displeasing in view his and he will turn back from towards him anger his.
Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 May not you fret yourself by evil-doers may not you be jealous of wicked [people].
Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
20 For - not it will belong a future to the evil [person] [the] lamp of wicked [people] it will be extinguished.
For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21 Fear Yahweh O son my and [the] king with [those who] change may not you get involved.
My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
22 For suddenly it will arise calamity their and [the] disaster of both of them who? [is] knowing.
For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?
23 Also these [belong] to wise [people] to pay regard to face in judgment not [is] good.
These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.
24 [one who] says - To a wicked [person] [are] righteous you they will curse him peoples they will denounce him nations.
They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.
25 And for the [ones who] rebuke [them] it will be pleasant and on them it will come blessing of good thing[s].
They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.
26 Lips he kisses [one who] bring back words right.
He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.
27 Establish on the outside - work your and make ready it in the field for yourself after and you will build house your.
Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
28 May not you be a witness without cause in neighbor your and ¿ will you deceive with lips your.
Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.
29 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.
Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.
30 At [the] field of a person lazy I passed by and at [the] vineyard of a person lacking of heart.
I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:
31 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.
And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.
32 And I saw I I set heart my I saw I received instruction.
Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.
33 A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest:
34 And it will come going about poverty your and poverti your like a man of shield.
And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
