1
Do not be envious
of evil
men,
Nor
desire
to be with them;
2
For their minds
devise
violence,
And their lips
talk
of trouble.
3
By wisdom
a house
is built,
And by understanding
it is established;
4
And by knowledge
the rooms
are filled
With all
precious
and pleasant
riches.
5
A wise
man
is strong,
And a
man
of knowledge
increases
power.
6
For by wise guidance
you will wage
war,
And in abundance
of counselors
there is victory.
7
Wisdom
is too exalted
for a fool,
He does not open
his mouth
in the gate.
8
One who plans
to do evil,
Men will call
a schemer.
9
The devising
of folly
is sin,
And the scoffer
is an abomination
to men.
10
If you are slack
in the day
of distress,
Your strength
is limited.
11
Deliver
those who are being taken
away to death,
And those who are staggering
to slaughter,
Oh
hold them back.
12
If
you say,
"See,
we did not know
this,"
Does He not consider
it who weighs
the hearts?
And does He not know
it who keeps
your soul?
And will He not render
to man
according to his work?
13
My son,
eat
honey,
for it is good,
Yes, the honey from the comb
is sweet
to your taste;
14
Know
that wisdom
is thus
for your soul;
If
you find
it, then there
will be a future,
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 destroy
his resting place;
16
For a righteous man
falls
seven times,
and rises
again, But the wicked
stumble
in time of calamity.
17
Do not rejoice
when your enemy
falls,
And do not let your heart
be glad
when he stumbles;
18
Or
the LORD
will see
it and be displeased,
And turn
His anger
away
from him.
19
Do not fret
because of evildoers
Or be envious
of the wicked;
20
For there will be no
future
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 who are given to change,
22
For their calamity
will rise
suddenly,
And who
knows
the ruin
that comes from both
of them?
23
These
also
are sayings of the wise.
To show partiality
in judgment
is not good.
24
He who says
to the wicked,
"You are righteous,"
Peoples
will curse
him, nations
will abhor
him;
25
But to those who rebuke
the wicked will be delight,
And a good
blessing
will come
upon them.
26
He kisses
the lips
Who gives
a right
answer.
27
Prepare
your work
outside
And make it ready
for yourself in the field;
Afterwards,
then, build
your house.
28
Do not be a witness
against your neighbor
without cause,
And do not deceive
with your lips.
29
Do
not say,
"Thus
I shall do to him as he has done
to me; I will render
to the man
according to his work."
30
I passed
by the field
of the sluggard
And by the vineyard
of the man
lacking
sense,
31
And behold,
it was completely
overgrown
with thistles;
Its surface
was covered
with nettles,
And its stone
wall
was broken down.
32
When I saw,
I reflected
upon it; I looked,
and received
instruction.
33
"
A little
sleep,
a little
slumber,
A little
folding
of the hands
to rest,"
34
Then your poverty
will come
as a robber
And your want
like an armed
man.
