V.1 Be not thou envious 7065-17 against evil 7451 men, 582 neither desire 183-101 to be with them.

24:2 For their heart 3820 studieth 1897-4 destruction, 7701 and their lips 8193 talk 1696-17 of mischief. 5999

24:3 Through wisdom 2451 is an house 1004 builded; 1129-11 and by understanding 8394 it is established: 3559-113

24:4 And by knowledge 1847 shall the chambers 2315 be filled 4390-11 with all precious 3368 and pleasant 5273 riches. 1952

24:5 A wise 2450 man 1397 [is] strong; 5797 yea, a man 376 of knowledge 1847 increaseth 553-18 strength. 3581

24:6 For by wise counsel 8458 thou shalt make 6213-4 thy war: 4421 and in multitude 7230 of counsellors 3289-6 [there is] safety. 8668

24:7 Wisdom 2454 [is] too high 7311-6 for a fool: 191 he openeth 6605-4 not his mouth 6310 in the gate. 8179

24:8 He that deviseth 2803-18 to do evil 7489-53 shall be called 7121-4 a mischievous 4209 person. 1167

24:9 The thought 2154 of foolishness 200 [is] sin: 2403 and the scorner 3887-5 [is] an abomination 8441 to men. 120

24:10 [If] thou faint 7503-98 in the day 3117 of adversity, 6869 thy strength 3581 [is] small. 6862

24:11 If thou forbear 2820-4 to deliver 5337-54 [them that are] drawn 3947-7 unto death, 4194 and [those that are] ready 4131-5 to be slain; 2027

24:12 If thou sayest, 559-4 Behold, we knew 3045-1 it not; doth not he that pondereth 8505-6 the heart 3826 consider 995-4 [it]? and he that keepeth 5341-6 thy soul, 5315 doth [not] he know 3045-4 [it]? and shall [not] he render 7725-52 to [every] man 120 according to his works? 6467

24:13 My son, 1121 eat 398-3 thou honey, 1706 because [it is] good; 2896 and the honeycomb, 5317 [which is] sweet 4966 to thy taste: 2441

24:14 So [shall] the knowledge 3045-3 of wisdom 2451 [be] unto thy soul: 5315 when thou hast found 4672-1 [it], then there shall be 3426 a reward, 319 and thy expectation 8615 shall not be cut off. 3772-11

24:15 Lay not wait, 693-4 O wicked 7563 [man], against the dwelling 5116 of the righteous; 6662 spoil 7703-17 not his resting place: 7258

24:16 For a just 6662 [man] falleth 5307-4 seven times, 7651 and riseth up 6965-1 again: but the wicked 7563 shall fall 3782-11 into mischief. 7451

24:17 Rejoice 8055-4 not when thine enemy 341-6 falleth, 5307-2 and let not thine heart 3820 be glad 1523-4 when he stumbleth: 3782-9

24:18 Lest the LORD 3068 see 7200-4 [it], and it displease 7489-1 5869 him, and he turn away 7725-52 his wrath 639 from him.

24:19 Fret 2734-101 not thyself because of evil 7489-56 [men], neither be thou envious 7065-17 at the wicked; 7563

24:20 For there shall be no reward 319 to the evil 7451 [man]; the candle 5216 of the wicked 7563 shall be put out. 1846-4

24:21 My son, 1121 fear 3372-3 thou the LORD 3068 and the king: 4428 [and] meddle 6148-101 not with them that are given to change: 8138-6

24:22 For their calamity 343 shall rise 6965-4 suddenly; 6597 and who knoweth 3045-6 the ruin 6365 of them both? 8147

24:23 These [things] also [belong] to the wise. 2450 [It is] not good 2896 to have respect 5234-53 of persons 6440 in judgment. 4941

24:24 He that saith 559-6 unto the wicked, 7563 Thou [art] righteous; 6662 him shall the people 5971 curse, 5344-4 nations 3816 shall abhor 2194-4 him:

24:25 But to them that rebuke 3198-56 [him] shall be delight, 5276-4 and a good 2896 blessing 1293 shall come 935-4 upon them.

24:26 [Every man] shall kiss 5401-4 [his] lips 8193 that giveth 7725-56 a right 5228 answer. 1697

24:27 Prepare 3559-54 thy work 4399 without, 2351 and make it fit 6257-16 for thyself in the field; 7704 and afterwards 310 build 1129-1 thine house. 1004

24:28 Be not a witness 5707 against thy neighbour 7453 without cause; 2600 and deceive 6601-14 [not] with thy lips. 8193

24:29 Say 559-4 not, I will do 6213-4 so to him as he hath done 6213-1 to me: I will render 7725-55 to the man 376 according to his work. 6467

24:30 I went 5674-1 by the field 7704 of the slothful, 376 6102 and by the vineyard 3754 of the man 120 void 2638 of understanding; 3820

24:31 And, lo, it was all grown over 5927-1 with thorns, 7063 [and] nettles 2738 had covered 3680-27 the face 6440 thereof, and the stone 68 wall 1444 thereof was broken down. 2040-8

24:32 Then I saw, 2372-4 [and] considered 7896-4 3820 [it] well: I looked 7200-1 upon [it, and] received 3947-1 instruction. 4148

24:33 [Yet] a little 4592 sleep, 8142 a little 4592 slumber, 8572 a little 4592 folding 2264 of the hands 3027 to sleep: 7901-2
