Contrast of the
Righteous and the Wicked. Proverbs (Chapters 10-24 ~ Wisdom
For All People)
Precepts
and Warnings
1 Do
not be envious of evil people, Nor desire to be with them; 2 For their [a]minds plot
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 [b]strong, And
a person of knowledge [c]increases
power. 6 For by wise guidance
you will [d]wage war, And in an abundance of counselors
there is victory.
7 Wisdom
is too exalted for a fool, He does not open his
mouth at the
gate.
8 One
who plans to do evil, People
will call a [e]schemer. 9 The devising
of
foolishness is sin, And
the scoffer is an abomination to humanity.
10 If
you show yourself lacking courage on the day of distress, Your strength
is meager.
11 Rescue
those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering
to the
slaughter, Oh hold them back! 12 If you say,
“See,
we did not know this,” Does
He who weighs the hearts not consider it? And does
He who watches over your
soul not know it? And will He not [f]repay a
person 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 the same for your soul; If you find it,
then there will be a [g]future, And
your hope will not be cut off.
15 Do
not lie in ambush, you wicked person, against the home of the
righteous; Do
not destroy his resting place; 16 For a
righteous
person falls seven times and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time
of disaster.
17 Do
not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart rejoice
when he stumbles, 18 Otherwise,
the Lord
will see and [h]be
displeased, And
turn His anger away from him.
19 Do
not get upset because of evildoers Or be envious of the wicked; 20 For there
will be
no [i]future for
the evil person; The
lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21 My
son, [j]fear the Lord
and the king; Do
not get involved with those [k]of high rank, 22 For their
disaster
will rise suddenly, And
who knows the ruin that can come from both of them?
23 These
also are sayings of the wise: To [l]show
partiality in judgment is not good. 24 One who says
to the
wicked, “You are righteous,” Peoples will curse him, nations will
scold him; 25 But for
those who
rebuke the wicked there will be delight, And a good
blessing will come upon
them. 26 One who
gives [m]a right
answer Kisses
the lips.
27 Prepare
your work outside, And
make it ready for yourself in the field; Afterward, then, build your
house.
28 Do
not be a witness against your neighbor for no reason, And do not
deceive with your lips. 29 Do not say,
“I
shall do the same to him as he has done to me; I will [n]repay the
person according to his work.”
30 I
passed by the field of [o]a lazy one,
And by the vineyard of a person
lacking [p]sense, 31 And behold,
it was
completely overgrown with weeds; Its surface was covered with weeds,
And its stone wall was broken down. 32 When I saw,
I [q]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 like [r]a drifter,
And your need like [s]an armed man.
