< Proverbs 24 >

1 May not you be jealous of people of evil and may not (you desire *Q(k)*) to be with them.
Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2 For violence it plots heart their and trouble lips their they speak.
For their heart studieth oppression, and their lips talk of mischief.
3 By wisdom it is built a house and by understanding it is established.
Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge rooms they are filled all wealth precious and pleasant.
And by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might.

For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war: and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7 [are] high For a fool wisdom in the gate not he opens mouth his.
Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8 [one who] plans To do evil him master of plots people will call.

9 A plan of foolishness [is] sin and [is] an abomination to humankind a mocker.
The thought of the foolish is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10 You have shown yourself without courage in a day of trouble [is] narrow strength your.
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11 Deliver [those being] taken to death and [those who] are staggering to the slaughter if you will restrain.
Deliver them that are carried away unto death, and those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
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 sayest, Behold, we knew not this: doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his work?
13 Eat O son my honey for [it is] good and honey from [the] comb [is] sweet on palate your.
My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
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 shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul: if thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, and thy hope shall not be cut off.
15 May not you lie in wait wicked [person] to [the] habitation of a righteous [person] may not you devastate resting place his.
Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16 For seven [times] - he will fall a righteous [person] and he will rise and wicked [people] they will stumble in trouble.
For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17 When falls (enemy your *Q(K)*) may not you rejoice and when stumbles he may not it rejoice heart your.
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he is overthrown:
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 it, 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].
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; neither be thou envious at the wicked:
20 For - not it will belong a future to the evil [person] [the] lamp of wicked [people] it will be extinguished.
For there will be no reward to the evil man; 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 thou the LORD and the king: [and] meddle not with them that are given to change:
22 For suddenly it will arise calamity their and [the] disaster of both of them who? [is] knowing.
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the destruction of them both?
23 Also these [belong] to wise [people] to pay regard to face in judgment not [is] good.
These also are [sayings] of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
24 [one who] says - To a wicked [person] [are] righteous you they will curse him peoples they will denounce him nations.
He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him:
25 And for the [ones who] rebuke [them] it will be pleasant and on them it will come blessing of good thing[s].
But to them that rebuke [him] shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26 Lips he kisses [one who] bring back words right.
He kisseth the lips that giveth a right answer.
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 make it ready for thee in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28 May not you be a witness without cause in neighbor your and ¿ will you deceive with lips your.
Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not 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 so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man 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 went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
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, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, the face thereof was covered with nettles, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 And I saw I I set heart my I saw I received instruction.
Then I beheld, and considered well: I saw, and received instruction.
33 A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 And it will come going about poverty your and poverti your like a man of shield.
So shall thy poverty come as a robber; and thy want as an armed man.
