Do Not Envy Evil Men
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 24
|
|
1. Do not be envious of evil men,
|
|
Nor desire to be with them;
|
|
|
|
2. For their heart devises violence,
|
|
And their lips talk of troublemaking.
|
|
|
|
3. Through 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 strong,
|
|
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
|
|
|
|
6. For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
|
|
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
|
|
|
|
7. Wisdom is too lofty for a fool;
|
|
He does not open his mouth in the gate.
|
|
|
|
8. He who plots to do evil
|
|
Will be called a schemer.
|
|
|
|
9. The devising of foolishness is sin,
|
|
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
|
|
|
|
10. If you faint in the day of adversity,
|
|
Your strength is small.
|
|
|
|
11. Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
|
|
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
|
|
|
|
12. If you say, "Surely we did not know this,"
|
|
Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it?
|
|
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
|
|
And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?
|
|
|
|
13. My son, eat 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;
|
|
If you have found it, there is a prospect,
|
|
And your hope will not be cut off.
|
|
|
|
15. Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
|
|
Do not plunder his resting place;
|
|
|
|
16. For a righteous man may fall seven times
|
|
And rise again,
|
|
But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
|
|
|
|
17. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
|
|
And do not let 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. Do not fret because of evildoers,
|
|
Nor be envious of the wicked;
|
|
|
|
20. For there will be no prospect for the evil man;
|
|
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
|
|
|
|
21. My son, fear the Lord and the king;
|
|
Do not associate with those given to change;
|
|
|
|
22. For their calamity will rise suddenly,
|
|
And who knows the ruin those two can bring?Further Sayings of the Wise
|
|
|
|
23. These things also belong to the wise:
|
|
It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
|
|
|
|
24. He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous,"
|
|
Him the people will curse;
|
|
Nations will abhor him.
|
|
|
|
25. But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,
|
|
And a good blessing will come upon them.
|
|
|
|
26. He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.
|
|
|
|
27. Prepare your outside work,
|
|
Make it fit for yourself in the field;
|
|
And afterward build your house.
|
|
|
|
28. Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,
|
|
For would you deceive with your lips?
|
|
|
|
29. Do not say, "I will do to him just as he has done to me;
|
|
I will render to the man according to his work."
|
|
|
|
30. I went by the field of the lazy man,
|
|
And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
|
|
|
|
31. And there it was, all overgrown with thorns;
|
|
Its surface was covered with nettles;
|
|
Its stone wall was broken down.
|
|
|
|
32. When I saw it, I considered it well;
|
|
I looked on it and received instruction:
|
|
|
|
33. A little sleep, a little slumber,
|
|
A little folding of the hands to rest;
|
|
|
|
34. So shall your poverty come like a prowler,
|
|
And your need like an armed man.
