Proverbs 24:8 (KJV) King James Version

1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; 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; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8 He that deviseth 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 thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy 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 falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou 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 thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth 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 saith unto the wicked, Thou art 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 upon them.
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath 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, lo, 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 upon it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as 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
