Proverbs 24 (KJV) Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be
with them. {2} For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of
mischief. {3} Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is
established: {4} And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all
precious and pleasant riches. {5} A wise man is strong; yea, a man of
knowledge increaseth strength. {6} For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy
war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. {7} Wisdom is too high
for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. {8} He that deviseth to do
evil shall be called a mischievous person. {9} The thought of foolishness is
sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. {10} If thou faint in the day
of adversity, thy strength is small. {11} If thou forbear to deliver them that
are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; {12} If thou
sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider
it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render
to every man according to his works? {13} My son, eat thou honey, because it
is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: {14} So shall the
knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there
shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. {15} Lay not
wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his
resting place: {16} For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:
but the wicked shall fall into mischief. {17} Rejoice not when thine enemy
falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: {18} Lest the LORD
see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. {19} Fret
not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
{20} For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked
shall be put out. {21} My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not
with them that are given to change: {22} For their calamity shall rise
suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? {23} These things also belong
to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. {24} He
that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse,
nations shall abhor him: {25} But to them that rebuke him shall be delight,
and a good blessing shall come upon them. {26} Every man shall kiss his lips
that giveth a right answer. {27} Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for
thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house. {28} Be not a witness
against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. {29} 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} I went by the field of the slothful, and by the
vineyard of the man void of understanding; {31} And, lo, it was all grown over
with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall
thereof was broken down. {32} Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked
upon it, and received instruction. {33} Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep: {34} So shall thy poverty come as one
that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
