The Book of Proverbs 24

24 Do not be envious of men of evil,

and do not desire to be with them.

2 For their heart plots violence,

and their lips speak trouble.

3 By wisdom a house is built,

and by understanding it is established.

4 And by knowledge the rooms are filled

with all precious and pleasant wealth.

5 A man of wisdom is with strength

and a man of knowledge strengthens power.

6 For by guidance you make war for yourself

and salvation is in an abundance of counsel.

7 Wise things are too high for a fool;

at the gate he will not open his mouth.

8 One who plans to do evil,

they will call him an owner of schemes.

9 A scheme of folly is sin,

and a mocker is an abomination to man.

10 If you make yourself slack in the day of distress,

your strength is narrow.

11 Rescue those who are taken for the death,

and those who stagger to the slaughter, if only you would hold back!

12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”

does not he, the examiner of hearts, understand,

and he, the guard of your life, know,

and will he give back to a man according to his work?

13 My son, eat honey because it is good

and the fresh honey is sweet on your palate.

14 Know wisdom is thus for your soul;

if you find it, then there will be a future

and your hope will not be cut off.

15 Do not lie in wait like a wicked one against the abode of the righteous one;

do not assault his resting place.

16 For seven times a righteous one falls and rises up,

but wicked ones stumble into calamity.

17 When your enemy falls, do not be glad,

and when he stumbles do not let your heart rejoice,

18 lest Yahweh see, and it is evil in his eyes,

and he turns away his nose from on him.

19 Do not make yourself hot because of evildoers;

do not envy wicked ones.

20 For a future is not for an evil one,

the lamp of the wicked ones will be extinguished.

21 My son, fear Yahweh and the king;

do not associate with ones who change.

22 For suddenly their calamity will arise,

and who is one who knows the destruction of the two of them?

23 These also are of the wise ones:

Recognizing faces in judgment is not good.

24 One who says to the wicked one, “You are righteous,”

peoples will curse him, nations will denounce him.

25 But for the rebukers it will be pleasant,

and over them will come a blessing of goodness.

26 He kisses lips

who returns straightforward words.

27 Prepare your work in the outdoors,

and make it ready for yourself in the field;

and after you will build your house.

28 Do not be a witness without cause against your neighbor.

And would you deceive with your lips?

29 Do not say, “Just as he did to me, so I will do to him;

I will return to the man according to his deed.”

30 I passed over the field of a lazy man

and over the vineyard of a man lacking of heart.

31 And behold, all of it went up with thorns,

its face was covered with weeds,

and the wall of its stones was torn down.

32 And I myself looked, I set my heart,

I saw, I received instruction.

33 A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to lie down,

34 and your poverty will come like one who walks around,

and your needs like a man of shield.
