Proverbs 24:18 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them,
2 for their hearts devise violence, and their lips talk of trouble.
3 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;
4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
6 for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.
8 Whoever plans to do evil will be called a schemer.
9 The devising of folly is sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.
10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12 If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
14 Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
15 Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous; do no violence to his home;
16 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
18 lest the LORD see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him.
19 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, and be not envious of the wicked,
20 for the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21 My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not join with those who do otherwise,
22 for disaster from them will rise suddenly, and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?
23 These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging is not good.
24 Whoever says to the wicked, "You are in the right," will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,
25 but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them.
26 Whoever gives an honest answer kisses the lips.
27 Prepare your work outside; get everything ready for yourself in the field, and after that build your house.
28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
29 Do not say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for what he has done."
30 I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,
31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction.
33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
1 Be not H408 thou envious H7065 against evil H7451 men, H376 neither H408 desire H183 to be H1961 with H854 them.
2 For H3588 their heart H3820 studieth H1897 destruction, H7701 and their lips H8193 talk H1696 of mischief. H5999
3 Through wisdom H2451 is a house H1004 built; H1129 and by understanding H8394 it is established: H3559
4 And by knowledge H1847 shall the chambers H2315 be filled H4390 with all H3605 precious H3368 and pleasant H5273 riches. H1952
5 A wise H2450 man H1397 is strong; H5797 yea , a man H376 of knowledge H1847 increaseth H553 strength. H3581
6 For H3588 by wise counsel H8458 thou shalt make H6213 thy war: H4421 and in multitude H7230 of counselors H3289 there is safety. H8668
7 Wisdom H2454 is too high H7311 for a fool: H191 he openeth H6605 not H3808 his mouth H6310 in the gate. H8179
8 He that deviseth H2803 to do evil H7489 shall be called H7121 a mischievous H4209 person. H1167
9 The thought H2154 of foolishness H200 is sin: H2403 and the scorner H3887 is an abomination H8441 to men. H120
10 If thou faint H7503 in the day H3117 of adversity, H6869 thy strength H3581 is small. H6862
11 If H518 thou forbear H2820 to deliver H5337 them that are drawn H3947 unto death, H4194 and those that are ready H4131 to be slain; H2027
12 If H3588 thou sayest, H559 Behold, H2005 we knew H3045 it H2088 not; H3808 doth not H3808 he that pondereth H8505 the heart H3820 consider H995 it ? and he that keepeth H5341 thy soul, H5315 doth not he H1931 know H3045 it ? and shall not he render H7725 to every man H120 according to his works H6467 ?
13 My son, H1121 eat H398 thou honey, H1706 because H3588 it is good; H2896 and the honeycomb, H5317 which is sweet H4966 to H5921 thy taste: H2441
14 So H3651 shall the knowledge H3045 of wisdom H2451 be unto thy soul: H5315 when H518 thou hast found H4672 it , then there shall be H3426 a reward, H319 and thy expectation H8615 shall not H3808 be cut off. H3772
15 Lay not wait H408 H693 , O wicked H7563 man , against the dwelling H5116 of the righteous; H6662 spoil H7703 not H408 his resting place: H7258
16 For H3588 a just H6662 man falleth H5307 seven H7651 times , and riseth up again: H6965 but the wicked H7563 shall fall H3782 into mischief. H7451
17 Rejoice H8055 not H408 when thine enemy H341 falleth, H5307 and let not H408 thine heart H3820 be glad H1523 when he stumbleth: H3782
18 Lest H6435 the LORD H3068 see H7200 it , and it displease H7489 H5869 him , and he turn away H7725 his wrath H639 from H4480 H5921 him.
19 Fret not thyself H408 H2734 because of evil H7489 men , neither H408 be thou envious H7065 at the wicked; H7563
20 For H3588 there shall be H1961 no H3808 reward H319 to the evil H7451 man ; the candle H5216 of the wicked H7563 shall be put out. H1846
21 My son, H1121 fear H3372 thou H853 the LORD H3068 and the king: H4428 and meddle H6148 not H408 with H5973 them that are given to change: H8138
22 For H3588 their calamity H343 shall rise H6965 suddenly; H6597 and who H4310 knoweth H3045 the ruin H6365 of them both H8147 ?
23 These H428 things also H1571 belong to the wise. H2450 It is not H1077 good H2896 to have respect H5234 of persons H6440 in judgment. H4941
24 He that saith H559 unto the wicked, H7563 Thou H859 art righteous; H6662 him shall the people H5971 curse, H5344 nations H3816 shall abhor H2194 him:
25 But to them that rebuke H3198 him shall be delight, H5276 and a good H2896 blessing H1293 shall come H935 upon H5921 them.
26 Every man shall kiss H5401 his lips H8193 that giveth H7725 a right H5228 answer. H1697
27 Prepare H3559 thy work H4399 without, H2351 and make it fit H6257 for thyself in the field; H7704 and afterwards H310 build H1129 thine house. H1004
28 Be H1961 not H408 a witness H5707 against thy neighbor H7453 without cause; H2600 and deceive H6601 not with thy lips. H8193
29 Say H559 not, H408 I will do H6213 so H3651 to him as H834 he hath done H6213 to me : I will render H7725 to the man H376 according to his work. H6467
30 I went H5674 by H5921 the field H7704 of the slothful H6102 H376 , and by H5921 the vineyard H3754 of the man H120 void H2638 of understanding; H3820
31 And, lo, H2009 it was all H3605 grown over H5927 with thorns, H7063 and nettles H2738 had covered H3680 the face H6440 thereof , and the stone H68 wall H1444 thereof was broken down. H2040
32 Then I H595 saw, H2372 and considered it well H7896 H3820 : I looked H7200 upon it, and received H3947 instruction. H4148
33 Yet a little H4592 sleep, H8142 a little H4592 slumber, H8572 a little H4592 folding H2264 of the hands H3027 to sleep: H7901
34 So shall thy poverty H7389 come H935 as one that traveleth; H1980 and thy want H4270 as an armed H4043 man. H376
