Proverbs 24:1 (AKJV) American King James Version

1 Be not you envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2 For their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3 Through wisdom is an house built; 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; yes, a man of knowledge increases strength.
6 For by wise counsel you shall make your war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he opens not his mouth in the gate.
8 He that devises 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 you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
11 If you forbear to deliver them that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12 If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that ponders the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13 My son, eat you honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul: when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your 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 falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17 Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:
18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not yourself because of evil men, neither be you 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 you the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knows 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 said to the wicked, You are 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 on them.
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that gives a right answer.
27 Prepare your work without, and make it fit for yourself in the field; and afterwards build your house.
28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he has 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, see, 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 on it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.

3 Through wisdom H2451 B-NFS is a house H1004 built H1129 VNY3MS ; and by understanding H8394 it is established H3559 :

13 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , eat H398 thou honey H1706 , because H3588 CONJ it is good H2896 AMS ; and the honeycomb H5317 , which is sweet H4966 to H5921 PREP thy taste H2441 :

15 Lay not wait H408 NPAR , O wicked H7563 AMS man , against the dwelling H5116 of the righteous H6662 AMS ; spoil H7703 not H408 ADV his resting place H7258 :

17 Rejoice H8055 not H408 NPAR when thine enemy H341 falleth H5307 B-VQFC , and let not H408 NPAR thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS be glad H1523 when he stumbleth H3782 :
18 Lest H6435 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS see H7200 VQY3MS it , and it displease H7489 him , and he turn away H7725 his wrath H639 CMS-3MS from M-PREP-3MS him .

23 These H428 PMP things also H1571 CONJ belong to the wise H2450 . It is not H1077 ADV good H2896 AMS to have respect H5234 of persons H6440 NMP in judgment H4941 .
24 He that saith H559 unto the wicked H7563 , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS art righteous H6662 AMS ; him shall the people H5971 NMP curse H5344 VQY3MP , nations H3816 shall abhor H2194 him :

28 Be H1961 VQI3FS not H408 NPAR a witness H5707 against thy neighbor H7453 without cause H2600 ADV ; and deceive H6601 not with thy lips H8193 .
29 Say H559 not H408 NPAR , I will do H6213 so H3651 ADV to him as H834 K-RPRO he hath done H6213 VQY1MS to me : I will render H7725 to the man H376 LD-NMS according to his work H6467 .
30 I went H5674 by H5921 PREP the field H7704 CMS of the slothful H6102 , and by H5921 PREP the vineyard H3754 of the man H120 NMS void H2638 JMS of understanding H3820 NMS ;
