-19-
24 Don’t be envious of evil men,
≈ and don’t try to associate with them,
2 because they have violent thoughts,
-20-
3 It’s through wisdom that a house is built,
≈ and it’s established by understanding.
4 It’s through knowledge that its rooms get filled
→ with beautiful and valuable treasures.
-21-
5 A wise person is strong,
and those with knowledge increase their power,
6 → because you need wise guidance to go to war,
≈ and victory requires many advisers.
-22-
7 Wisdom is too much for fools.
→ They don’t open their mouths at the city gate.
-23-
8 The person who plans to do evil,
will be known by others as a master schemer.
-24-
-24-
10 If you display a lack of courage when you have troubles,
→ your strength is limited.
-25-
11 Rescue those being led away to their death,
≈ and those who will be staggering to their slaughter if you restrain.
12 If you just say that you didn’t know anything about it,
→ then the one who weighs motives will realise.
→ Then the one who guards your life will repay everyone according to what they’ve done.
-26-
13 My child, eat honey because it’s good,
14 Wisdom is like that for your mind,
and if you find it, there’ll be a future for you,
and what you hope for won’t be taken away from you.
-27-
15 Don’t lie in wait like a wicked person does at a good person’s home.
Don’t devastate the place where a good person lives,
16 because a good person might fall several times then get up again,
^ but the wicked stumble when calamity comes.
-28-
17 Don’t cheer when your enemy falls,
≈ and when they stumble, don’t celebrate
18 → because Yahweh will see and disapprove,
→ and turn his anger away from them.
-29-
19 Don’t get yourself worrying because of evil people.
≈ Don’t be jealous of the wicked,
20 → because there’s no future for an evil person.
≈ The lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
-30-
21 My child, honour Yahweh and the king and strive to obey them,
Don’t get involved with those who change sides
22 → because disaster will suddenly hit them
and who knows what ruin they both might bring then?
24:23 More wise sayings
23 These are more sayings of the wise:
It’s not good to show partiality when deciding a case.
24 ≈ Anyone who says to the guilty that they’re innocent,
→ will be cursed by the peoples and hated by the nations.
25 However, those who convict the guilty will be admired,
→ and they’ll be blessed by good things happening.
26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Establish your work for outsiders and prepare your food gardens
then after that, build your house.
28 Don’t be a witness against your neighbour without good reason,
or deceive others with what you say.
29 Don’t say, “I’ll do to him what he did to me,
≈ I’ll pay him back for what he’s done.”
30 I passed by the field of a lazy person
≈ and by the vineyard of a person with no initiative.
31 Wow, thorns had grown up over all of it,
≈ and it was completely covered with weeds,
and its stone walls were broken down.
32 I looked and made a decision.
≈ I saw it and learnt from it:
33 A little sleep, a quick nap,
≈ a little folding your arms to rest,
34 and poverty will sneak up on you like a robber,
and need will approach like an armed bandit.
