Be not thou envious{H7065} against evil{H7451} men;{H582} Neither desire{H183} to be with them:

For their heart{H3820} studieth{H1897} oppression,{H7701} And their lips{H8193} talk{H1696} of mischief.{H5999}

Through wisdom{H2451} is a house{H1004} builded;{H1129} And by understanding{H8394} it is established;{H3559}

And by knowledge{H1847} are the chambers{H2315} filled{H4390} With all precious{H3368} and pleasant{H5273} riches.{H1952}

A wise{H2450} man{H1397} is strong;{H5797} Yea, a man{H376} of knowledge{H1847} increaseth{H553} might.{H3581}

For by wise guidance{H8458} thou shalt make{H6213} thy war;{H4421} And in the multitude{H7230} of counsellors{H3289} there is safety.{H8668}

Wisdom{H2454} is too high{H7311} for a fool:{H191} He openeth{H6605} not his mouth{H6310} in the gate.{H8179}

He that deviseth{H2803} to do evil,{H7489} Men shall call{H7121} him a mischief -{H4209} maker.{H1167}

The thought{H2154} of foolishness{H200} is sin;{H2403} And the scoffer{H3887} is an abomination{H8441} to men.{H120}

If thou faint{H7503} in the day{H3117} of adversity,{H6869} Thy strength{H3581} is small.{H6862}

Deliver{H5337} them that are carried{H3947} away unto death,{H4194} And those that are ready{H4131} to be slain{H4194} see that thou hold back.{H2820}

If thou sayest,{H559} Behold, we knew{H3045} not this; Doth not he that weigheth{H8505} the hearts{H3826} consider{H995} it? And he that keepeth{H5341} thy soul,{H5315} doth not he know{H3045} it? And shall not he render{H7725} to every man{H120} according to his work?{H6467}

My son,{H1121} eat{H398} thou honey,{H1706} for it is good;{H2896} And the droppings of the honeycomb,{H5317} which are sweet{H4966} to thy taste:{H2441}

So shalt thou know{H3045} wisdom{H2451} to be unto thy soul;{H5315} If thou hast found{H4672} it, then shall there be{H3426} a reward,{H319} And thy hope{H8615} shall not be cut off.{H3772}

Lay not wait,{H693} O wicked{H7563} man, against the habitation{H5116} of the righteous;{H6662} Destroy{H7703} not his resting-place:{H7258}

For a righteous{H6662} man falleth{H5307} seven times,{H7651} and riseth up again;{H6965} But the wicked{H7563} are overthrown{H3782} by calamity.{H7451}

Rejoice{H8055} not when thine enemy{H341} falleth,{H5307} And let not thy heart{H3820} be glad{H1523} when he is overthrown;{H3782}

Lest Jehovah{H3068} see{H7200} it, and it displease{H7489} him, And he turn away{H7725} his wrath{H639} from him.

Fret{H2734} not thyself because of evil-doers;{H7489} Neither be thou envious{H7065} at the wicked:{H7563}

For there shall be no reward{H319} to the evil{H7451} man; The lamp{H5216} of the wicked{H7563} shall be put out.{H1846}

My son,{H1121} fear{H3372} thou Jehovah{H3068} and the king;{H4428} [And] company{H6148} not with them that are given to change:{H8138}

For their calamity{H343} shall rise{H6965} suddenly;{H6597} And the destruction{H6365} from them both,{H8147} who knoweth{H3045} it?

These also are [sayings] of the wise.{H2450} To have respect{H5234} of persons{H6440} in judgment{H4941} is not good.{H2896}

He that saith{H559} unto the wicked,{H7563} Thou art righteous;{H6662} Peoples{H5971} shall curse{H5344} him, nations{H5971} shall abhor{H2194} him:

But to them that rebuke{H3198} [him] shall be delight,{H5276} And a good{H2896} blessing{H1293} shall come{H935} upon them.

He kisseth{H5401} the lips{H8193} Who giveth{H7725} a right{H5228} answer.{H1697}

Prepare{H3559} thy work{H4399} without,{H2351} And make it ready{H6257} for thee in the field;{H7704} And afterwards{H310} build{H1129} thy house.{H1004}

Be not a witness{H5707} against thy neighbor{H7453} without cause;{H2600} And deceive{H6601} not with thy lips.{H8193}

Say{H559} not, I will do{H6213} so to him as he hath done{H6213} to me; I will render{H7725} to the man{H376} according to his work.{H6467}

I went{H5674} by the field{H7704} of the sluggard,{H376} And by the vineyard{H3754} of the man{H120} void{H2638} of understanding;{H3820}

And, lo, it was all grown over{H5927} with thorns,{H7063} The face{H6440} thereof was covered{H3680} with nettles,{H2738} And the stone{H68} wall{H1444} thereof was broken down.{H2040}

Then I beheld,{H2372} and considered well;{H7896} I saw,{H2372} and received{H3947} instruction:{H4148}

[ Yet] a little{H4592} sleep,{H8142} a little{H4592} slumber,{H8572} A little{H4592} folding{H2264} of the hands{H3027} to sleep;{H7901}

So shall thy poverty{H7389} come{H935} as a robber,{H1980} And thy want{H4270} as an armed{H4043} man.{H376}
