Proverbs 24 (kjv)

Be not thou envious^H7065 against evil^H7451 men^H582, neither desire^H183 to be with them.²For their heart^H3820 studieth^H1897 destruction^H7701, and their lips^H8193 talk^H1696 of mischief^H5999.³Through wisdom^H2451 is an house^H1004 builded^H1129; and by understanding^H8394 it is established^H3559:⁴And by knowledge^H1847 shall the chambers^H2315 be filled^H4390 with all precious^H3368 and pleasant^H5273 riches^H1952.⁵A wise^H2450 man^H1397 is strong^H5797; yea, a man^H376 of knowledge^H1847 increaseth^H553 strength^H3581.⁶For by wise counsel^H8458 thou shalt make^H6213 thy war^H4421: and in multitude^H7230 of counsellors^H3289 there is safety^H8668.⁷Wisdom^H2454 is too high^H7311 for a fool^H191: he openeth^H6605 not his mouth^H6310 in the gate^H8179.⁸He that deviseth^H2803 to do evil^H7489 shall be called^H7121 a mischievous^H4209 person^H1167.⁹The thought^H2154 of foolishness^H200 is sin^H2403: and the scorner^H3887 is an abomination^H8441 to men^H120.¹⁰If thou faint^H7503 in the day^H3117 of adversity^H6869, thy strength^H3581 is small^H6862.¹¹If thou forbear^H2820 to deliver^H5337 them that are drawn^H3947 unto death^H4194, and those that are ready^H4131 to be slain^H2027;¹²If thou sayest^H559, Behold, we knew^H3045 it not; doth not he that pondereth^H8505 the heart^H3826 consider^H995 it? and he that keepeth^H5341 thy soul^H5315, doth not he know^H3045 it? and shall not he render^H7725 to every man^H120 according to his works^H6467?¹³My son^H1121, eat^H398 thou honey^H1706, because it is good^H2896; and the honeycomb^H5317, which is sweet^H4966 to thy taste^H2441:¹⁴So shall the knowledge^H3045 of wisdom^H2451 be unto thy soul^H5315: when thou hast found^H4672 it, then there shall be^H3426 a reward^H319, and thy expectation^H8615 shall not be cut off^H3772(8735).¹⁵Lay not wait^H693, O wicked^H7563 man, against the dwelling^H5116 of the righteous^H6662; spoil^H7703 not his resting place^H7258:¹⁶For a just^H6662 man falleth^H5307 seven times^H7651, and riseth up again^H6965: but the wicked^H7563 shall fall^H3782 into mischief^H7451.¹⁷Rejoice^H8055 not when thine enemy^H341 falleth^H5307, and let not thine heart^H3820 be glad^H1523 when he stumbleth^H3782:¹⁸Lest the LORD^H3068 see^H7200 it, and it displease^{H7489 H5869} him, and he turn away^H7725 his wrath^H639 from him.¹⁹Fret^H2734 not thyself because of evil^H7489 men, neither be thou envious^H7065 at the wicked^H7563;²⁰For there shall be no reward^H319 to the evil^H7451 man; the candle^H5216 of the wicked^H7563 shall be put out^H1846.²¹My son^H1121, fear^H3372 thou the LORD^H3068 and the king^H4428: and meddle^H6148 not with them that are given to change^H8138:²²For their calamity^H343 shall rise^H6965 suddenly^H6597; and who knoweth^H3045 the ruin^H6365 of them both^H8147?²³These things also belong to the wise^H2450. It is not good^H2896 to have respect^H5234 of persons^H6440 in judgment^H4941.²⁴He that saith^H559 unto the wicked^H7563, Thou art righteous^H6662; him shall the people^H5971 curse^H5344, nations^H3816 shall abhor^H2194 him:²⁵But to them that rebuke^H3198 him shall be delight^H5276, and a good^H2896 blessing^H1293 shall come^H935 upon them.²⁶Every man shall kiss^H5401 his lips^H8193 that giveth^H7725 a right^H5228 answer^H1697.²⁷Prepare^H3559 thy work^H4399 without^H2351, and make it fit^H6257 for thyself in the field^H7704; and afterwards^H310 build^H1129 thine house^H1004.²⁸Be not a witness^H5707 against thy neighbour^H7453 without cause^H2600; and deceive^H6601 not with thy lips^H8193.²⁹Say^H559 not, I will do^H6213 so to him as he hath done^H6213 to me: I will render^H7725 to the man^H376 according to his work^H6467.³⁰I went^H5674 by the field^H7704 of the slothful^{H376 H6102}, and by the vineyard^H3754 of the man^H120 void^H2638 of understanding^H3820;³¹And, lo, it was all grown over^H5927 with thorns^H7063, and nettles^H2738 had covered^H3680 the face^H6440 thereof, and the stone^H68 wall^H1444 thereof was broken down^H2040.³²Then I saw^H2372, and considered it well^{H7896 H3820}: I looked^H7200 upon it, and received^H3947 instruction^H4148.³³Yet a little^H4592 sleep^H8142, a little^H4592 slumber^H8572, a little^H4592 folding^H2264 of the hands^H3027 to sleep^H7901:³⁴So shall thy poverty^H7389 come^H935 as one that travelleth^H1980; and thy want^H4270 as an armed^H4043 man^H376.
