Proverbs
24. fejezet
1. vers
Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;
2. vers
for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.
3. vers
Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
4. vers
by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
5. vers
A wise man has great power. A knowledgeable man increases strength,
6. vers
for by wise guidance you wage your war, and victory is in many advisors.
7. vers
Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.
8. vers
One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
9. vers
The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
10. vers
If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
11. vers
Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
12. vers
If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
13. vers
My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;
14. vers
so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.
15. vers
Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;
16. vers
for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17. vers
Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,
18. vers
lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19. vers
Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;
20. vers
for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
21. vers
My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious,
22. vers
for their calamity will rise suddenly. Who knows what destruction may come from them both?
23. vers
These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24. vers
He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—
25. vers
but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
26. vers
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
27. vers
Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
28. vers
Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don’t deceive with your lips.
29. vers
Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”
30. vers
I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding.
31. vers
Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
32. vers
Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
33. vers
a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,
34. vers
so your poverty will come as a robber and your want as an armed man.
