- 25:1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
- 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

- 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
- 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
- 25:6 Put not forth yourself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
- 25:7 For better it is that it be said to you, Come up here; than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince whom your eyes have seen.
- 25:8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest you know not what to do in the end thereof, when your neighbor has put you to shame.

Proverbs 24
2017年7月24日 by Leave a Comment
- 24:1 Be not you envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
- 24:2 For their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
- 24:3 Through wisdom is an house built; and by understanding it is established:
- 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
- 24:5 A wise man is strong; yes, a man of knowledge increases strength.
- 24:6 For by wise counsel you shall make your war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
- 24:7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he opens not his mouth in the gate.
- 24:8 He that devises to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
- 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
- 24:10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
- 24:11 If you forbear to deliver them that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to be slain;
- 24:12 If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that ponders the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
- 24:13 My son, eat you honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:
- 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul: when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your expectation shall not be cut off.
- 24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
- 24:16 For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
- 24:17 Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:
- 24:18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
- 24:19 Fret not yourself because of evil men, neither be you envious at the wicked:
- 24:20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
- 24:21 My son, fear you the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
- 24:22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knows the ruin of them both?
- 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
- 24:24 He that said to the wicked, You are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
- 24:25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come on them.
- 24:26 Every man shall kiss his lips that gives a right answer.
- 24:27 Prepare your work without, and make it fit for yourself in the field; and afterwards build your house.
- 24:28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.
- 24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he has done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
- 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
- 24:31 And, see, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
- 24:32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked on it, and received instruction.
- 24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
- 24:34 So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.

- 23:1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:

- 23:3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
- 23:4 Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom.
- 23:5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
- 23:6 Eat you not the bread of him that has an evil eye, neither desire you his dainty meats:
- 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, said he to you; but his heart is not with you.
- 23:8 The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up, and lose your sweet words.
- 23:9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

- 23:16 Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.
- 23:17 Let not your heart envy sinners: but be you in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
- 23:18 For surely there is an end; and your expectation shall not be cut off.
- 23:19 Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the way.
- 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
- 23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
- 23:22 Listen to your father that begat you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
- 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
- 23:24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of him.
- 23:25 Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bore you shall rejoice.
- 23:26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
- 23:27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
- 23:28 She also lies in wait as for a prey, and increases the transgressors among men.
- 23:29 Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?
- 23:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
- 23:31 Look not you on the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.
- 23:32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
- 23:33 Your eyes shall behold strange women, and your heart shall utter perverse things.
- 23:34 Yes, you shall be as he that lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he that lies on the top of a mast.
- 23:35 They have stricken me, shall you say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
