Be not thou enviousH7065 against evilH7451 menH582, neither desireH183 to be with them.
For their heartH3820 studiethH1897 destructionH7701, and their lipsH8193 talkH1696 of mischiefH5999.
Through wisdomH2451 is an houseH1004 buildedH1129; and by understandingH8394 it is establishedH3559:
And by knowledgeH1847 shall the chambersH2315 be filledH4390 with all preciousH3368 and pleasantH5273 richesH1952.
A wiseH2450 manH1397 is strongH5797; yea, a manH376 of knowledgeH1847 increasethH553 strengthH3581. {is strong: Heb. is in strength} {increaseth…: Heb. strengtheneth might}
For by wise counselH8458 thou shalt makeH6213 thy warH4421: and in multitudeH7230 of counsellorsH3289 there is safetyH8668.
WisdomH2454 is too highH7311 for a foolH191: he openethH6605 not his mouthH6310 in the gateH8179.
He that devisethH2803 to do evilH7489 shall be calledH7121 a mischievousH4209 personH1167.
The thoughtH2154 of foolishnessH200 is sinH2403: and the scornerH3887 is an abominationH8441 to menH120.
If thou faintH7503 in the dayH3117 of adversityH6869, thy strengthH3581 is smallH6862. {small: Heb. narrow}
If thou forbearH2820 to deliverH5337 them that are drawnH3947 unto deathH4194, and those that are readyH4131 to be slainH2027;
If thou sayestH559, Behold, we knewH3045 it not; doth not he that ponderethH8505 the heartH3826 considerH995 it? and he that keepethH5341 thy soulH5315, doth not he knowH3045 it? and shall not he renderH7725 to every manH120 according to his worksH6467?
My sonH1121, eatH398 thou honeyH1706, because it is goodH2896; and the honeycombH5317, which is sweetH4966 to thy tasteH2441: {to…: Heb. upon thy palate}
So shall the knowledgeH3045 of wisdomH2451 be unto thy soulH5315: when thou hast foundH4672 it, then there shall beH3426 a rewardH319, and thy expectationH8615 shall not be cut offH3772.
Lay not waitH693, O wickedH7563 man, against the dwellingH5116 of the righteousH6662; spoilH7703 not his resting placeH7258:
For a justH6662 man fallethH5307 seven timesH7651, and riseth up againH6965: but the wickedH7563 shall fallH3782 into mischiefH7451.
RejoiceH8055 not when thine enemyH341 fallethH5307, and let not thine heartH3820 be gladH1523 when he stumblethH3782:
Lest the LORDH3068 seeH7200 it, and it displeaseH7489+H5869 him, and he turn awayH7725 his wrathH639 from him. {it displeaseth…: Heb. it be evil in his eyes}
FretH2734 not thyself because of evilH7489 men, neither be thou enviousH7065 at the wickedH7563; {Fret…: or, Keep not company with the wicked}
For there shall be no rewardH319 to the evilH7451 man; the candleH5216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put outH1846. {candle: or, lamp}
My sonH1121, fearH3372 thou the LORDH3068 and the kingH4428: and meddleH6148 not with them that are given to changeH8138: {them…: Heb. changers}
For their calamityH343 shall riseH6965 suddenlyH6597; and who knowethH3045 the ruinH6365 of them bothH8147?
These things also belong to the wiseH2450. It is not goodH2896 to have respectH5234 of personsH6440 in judgmentH4941.
He that saithH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou art righteousH6662; him shall the peopleH5971 curseH5344, nationsH3816 shall abhorH2194 him:
But to them that rebukeH3198 him shall be delightH5276, and a goodH2896 blessingH1293 shall comeH935 upon them. {a good…: Heb. a blessing of good}
Every man shall kissH5401 his lipsH8193 that givethH7725 a rightH5228 answerH1697. {that…: Heb. that answereth right words}
PrepareH3559 thy workH4399 withoutH2351, and make it fitH6257 for thyself in the fieldH7704; and afterwardsH310 buildH1129 thine houseH1004.
Be not a witnessH5707 against thy neighbourH7453 without causeH2600; and deceiveH6601 not with thy lipsH8193.
SayH559 not, I will doH6213 so to him as he hath doneH6213 to me: I will renderH7725 to the manH376 according to his workH6467.
I wentH5674 by the fieldH7704 of the slothfulH376+H6102, and by the vineyardH3754 of the manH120 voidH2638 of understandingH3820;
And, lo, it was all grown overH5927 with thornsH7063, and nettlesH2738 had coveredH3680 the faceH6440 thereof, and the stoneH68 wallH1444 thereof was broken downH2040.
Then I sawH2372, and considered it wellH7896+H3820: I lookedH7200 upon it, and receivedH3947 instructionH4148. {considered…: Heb. set my heart}
Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901:
So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as one that travellethH1980; and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376. {an…: Heb. a man of shield}
