Book 28 : KETUVIM - PROVERBS - Chapter 024
24:001
Be not thou envious of evil men, neither desire to be with
them
24:002
For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk
of mischief
24:003
Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it
is established
24:004
And by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious
and pleasant riches
24:005
A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth
strength
24:006
For with wise advice thou shalt make thy war; and in the
multitude of counsellors there is safety
24:007
Wisdom is as unattainable to a fool as corals; he openeth
not his mouth in the gate
24:008
He that deviseth to do evil, men shall call him a
mischievous person
24:009
The thought of foolishness is sin; and the scorner is an
abomination to men
24:010
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is
small indeed
24:011
Deliver them that are drawn unto death; and those that are
ready to be slain wilt thou forbear to rescue
24:012
If thou sayest: 'Behold, we knew not this', doth not He
that weigheth the hearts 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
24:013
My son, eat thou honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb
is sweet to thy taste
24:014
So know thou wisdom to be unto thy soul; if thou hast
found it, then shall there be a future, and thy hope shall not be cut off
24:015
Lie not in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the
righteous, spoil not his resting-place
24:016
For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up
again, but the wicked stumble under adversity
24:017
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy
heart be glad when he stumbleth
24:018
Lest HaShem see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away
His wrath from him
24:019
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou
envious at the wicked
24:020
For there will be no future to the evil man, the lamp of
the wicked shall be put out
24:021
My son, fear thou HaShem and the king, and meddle not with
them that are given to change
24:022
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth
the ruin from them both
24:023
These also are sayings of the wise. To have respect of
persons in judgment is not good
24:024
He that saith unto the wicked: 'Thou art righteous',
peoples shall curse him, nations shall execrate him
24:025
But to them that decide justly shall be delight, and a
good blessing shall come upon them
24:026
He kisseth the lips that giveth a right answer
24:027
Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in
the field; and afterwards build thy house
24:028
Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and
deceive not with thy lips
24:029
Say not: 'I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I
will render to the man according to his work.
24:030
I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard
of the man void of understanding
24:031
And, lo, it was all grown over with thistles, the face
thereof was covered with nettles, and the stone wall thereof was broken down
24:032
Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received
instruction
24:033
'Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of
the hands to sleep'-
24:034
So shall thy poverty come as a runner, and thy want as an
armed man
