024:001

For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief

024:002

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established

024:003

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches

024:004

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength

024:005

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety

024:006

Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate

024:007

He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person

024:008

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men

024:009

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small

024:010

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain

024:011

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

024:012

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste

024:013

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

024:014

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place

024:015

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief

024:016

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth

024:017

Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him

024:018

Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked

024:019

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out

024:020

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change

024:021

For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both

024:022

These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment

024:023

He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him

024:024

But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them

024:025

Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer

024:026

Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house

024:027

Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips

024:028

Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work

024:029

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding

024:030

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down

024:031

Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction

024:032

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep

024:033

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man
