Amsal 24:1--27:27

24:1 Do not envy evil people,

do not desire to be with them;

24:2 for their hearts contemplate violence,

and their lips speak harm.

24:3 By wisdom a house is built,

and through understanding it is established;

24:4 by knowledge its rooms are filled

with all kinds of precious and pleasing treasures.

24:5 A wise warrior is strong,

and a man of knowledge makes his strength stronger;

24:6 for with guidance you wage your war,

and with numerous advisers there is victory.

24:7 Wisdom is unattainable for a fool;

in court 10  he does not open his mouth. 11 

24:8 The one who plans to do evil

will be called a scheming person. 12 

24:9 A foolish scheme 13  is sin,

and the scorner is an abomination to people. 14 

24:10 If you faint 15  in the day of trouble, 16 

your strength is small! 17 

24:11 Deliver those being taken away to death,

and hold back those slipping to the slaughter. 18 

24:12 If you say, “But we did not know about this,”

does not the one who evaluates 19  hearts consider?

Does not the one who guards your life know?

Will he not repay each person according to his deeds? 20 

24:13 Eat honey, 21  my child, for it is good,

and honey from the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.

24:14 Likewise, know 22  that wisdom is sweet 23  to your soul;

if you find it, 24  you will have a future, 25 

and your hope will not be cut off.

24:15 Do not lie in wait like the wicked 26  against the place where the righteous live;

do not assault 27  his home.

24:16 Although 28  a righteous person may fall seven times, he gets up again,

but the wicked will be brought down 29  by calamity.

24:17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, 30 

and when he stumbles do not let your heart rejoice,

24:18 lest the Lord see it, and be displeased, 31 

and turn his wrath away from him. 32 

24:19 Do not fret because of evil people

or be envious of wicked people,

24:20 for the evil person has no future, 33 

and the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished. 34 

24:21 Fear the Lord, my child, 35  as well as the king,

and do not associate 36  with rebels, 37 

24:22 for suddenly their destruction will overtake them, 38 

and who knows the ruinous judgment both the Lord and the king can bring? 39 

Further Sayings of the Wise

24:23 These sayings also are from the wise:

To show partiality 40  in judgment is terrible: 41 

24:24 The one who says to the guilty, 42  “You are innocent,” 43 

peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce 44  him.

24:25 But there will be delight 45  for those who convict 46  the guilty, 47 

and a pleasing blessing 48  will come on them.

24:26 Like a kiss on the lips 49 

is the one who gives an honest answer.

24:27 Establish your work outside and get your fields ready;

afterward build 50  your house. 51 

24:28 Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, 52 

and do not deceive with your words. 53 

24:29 Do not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me;

I will pay him back 54  according to what he has done.” 55 

24:30 I passed by the field of a sluggard,

by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom. 56 

24:31 I saw 57  that thorns had grown up all over it,

the ground 58  was covered with weeds,

and its stone wall was broken down.

24:32 When I saw this, I gave careful consideration to it; 59 

I received instruction from what I saw: 60 

24:33 “A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to relax,

24:34 and your poverty will come like a bandit,

and your need like an armed robber.” 61 

Proverbs of Solomon Collected by Hezekiah

25:1 These also are proverbs of Solomon,

which the men of King Hezekiah of Judah copied: 62 

25:2 It is the glory of God 63  to conceal 64  a matter,

and it is the glory of a king to search out a matter.

25:3 As the heaven is high 65  and the earth is deep

so the hearts of kings are unsearchable. 66 

25:4 Remove the dross from the silver,

and material 67  for the silversmith will emerge;

25:5 remove the wicked from before the king, 68 

and his throne 69  will be established in righteousness. 70 

25:6 Do not honor yourself before the king,

and do not stand in the place of great men;

25:7 for it is better for him 71  to say to you, “Come up here,” 72 

than to put you lower 73  before a prince,

whom your eyes have seen. 74 

25:8 Do not go out hastily to litigation, 75 

or 76  what will you do afterward

when your neighbor puts you to shame?

25:9 When you argue a case 77  with your neighbor,

do not reveal the secret of another person, 78 

25:10 lest the one who hears it put you to shame

and your infamy 79  will never go away.

25:11 Like apples of gold in settings of silver, 80 

so is a word skillfully spoken. 81 

25:12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, 82 

so is a wise reprover to the ear of the one who listens. 83 

25:13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest, 84 

so is a faithful messenger to those who send him,

for he refreshes the heart 85  of his masters.

25:14 Like cloudy skies and wind that produce no rain, 86 

so is the one who boasts 87  of a gift not given. 88 

25:15 Through patience 89  a ruler can be persuaded, 90 

and a soft tongue 91  can break a bone. 92 

25:16 When you find 93  honey, eat only what is sufficient for you,

lest you become stuffed 94  with it and vomit it up. 95 

25:17 Don’t set foot too frequently 96  in your neighbor’s house,

lest he become weary 97  of you and hate you.

25:18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow, 98 

so is the one who testifies against 99  his neighbor as a false witness. 100 

25:19 Like a bad tooth or a foot out of joint, 101 

so is confidence 102  in an unfaithful person at the time of trouble. 103 

25:20 Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, 104 

or like vinegar poured on soda, 105 

so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. 106 

25:21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat,

and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,

25:22 for you will heap coals of fire on his head, 107 

and the Lord will reward you. 108 

25:23 The north wind 109  brings forth rain,

and a gossiping tongue 110  brings forth 111  an angry look. 112 

25:24 It is better to live on a corner of the housetop

than in a house in company with a quarrelsome wife. 113 

25:25 Like cold water to a weary person, 114 

so is good news from a distant land. 115 

25:26 Like a muddied 116  spring and a polluted 117  well,

so is a righteous person who gives way 118  before the wicked.

25:27 It is not good 119  to eat too much honey,

nor is it honorable for people to seek their own glory. 120 

25:28 Like a city that is broken down and without a wall,

so is a person who cannot control his temper. 121 

26:1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,

so honor 122  is not fitting for a fool. 123 

26:2 Like a fluttering bird or like a flying swallow,

so a curse without cause 124  does not come to rest. 125 

26:3 A whip for the horse and a bridle for the donkey,

and a rod for the backs of fools! 126 

26:4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, 127 

lest you yourself also be like him. 128 

26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, 129 

lest he be wise in his own estimation. 130 

26:6 Like cutting off the feet or drinking violence, 131 

so is sending 132  a message by the hand of a fool. 133 

26:7 Like legs that hang limp 134  from the lame,

so 135  is a proverb 136  in the mouth of fools.

26:8 Like tying a stone in a sling, 137 

so is giving honor to a fool.

26:9 Like a thorn 138  that goes into the hand of a drunkard,

so is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. 139 

26:10 Like an archer who wounds at random, 140 

so is the one who hires 141  a fool or hires any passer-by.

26:11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit, 142 

so a fool repeats his folly. 143 

26:12 Do you see 144  a man wise in his own eyes? 145 

There is more hope for a fool 146  than for him.

26:13 The sluggard 147  says, “There is a lion in the road!

A lion in the streets!” 148 

26:14 Like 149  a door that turns on its hinges, 150 

so a sluggard turns 151  on his bed.

26:15 The sluggard plunges 152  his hand in the dish;

he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. 153 

26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own estimation 154 

than seven people who respond with good sense. 155 

26:17 Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, 156 

so is the person passing by who becomes furious 157  over a quarrel not his own.

26:18 Like a madman 158  who shoots

firebrands and deadly arrows, 159 

26:19 so is a person 160  who deceives his neighbor,

and says, “Was I not only joking?” 161 

26:20 Where there is no wood, a fire goes out,

and where there is no gossip, 162  contention ceases. 163 

26:21 Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,

so is a contentious person 164  to kindle strife. 165 

26:22 The words of a gossip are like delicious morsels;

they go down into a person’s innermost being. 166 

26:23 Like a coating of glaze 167  over earthenware

are fervent 168  lips with an evil heart. 169 

26:24 The one who hates others disguises 170  it with his lips,

but he stores up 171  deceit within him. 172 

26:25 When 173  he speaks graciously, 174  do not believe him, 175 

for there are seven 176  abominations 177  within him.

26:26 Though his 178  hatred may be concealed 179  by deceit,

his evil will be uncovered 180  in the assembly.

26:27 The one who digs a pit 181  will fall into it;

the one who rolls a stone – it will come back on him.

26:28 A lying tongue 182  hates those crushed by it,

and a flattering mouth works ruin. 183 

27:1 Do not boast 184  about tomorrow; 185 

for you do not know 186  what a day may bring forth.

27:2 Let another 187  praise you, and not your own mouth; 188 

someone else, 189  and not your own lips.

27:3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,

but vexation 190  by a fool is more burdensome 191  than the two of them.

27:4 Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, 192 

but who can stand before jealousy? 193 

27:5 Better is open 194  rebuke

than hidden 195  love.

27:6 Faithful 196  are the wounds of a friend,

but the kisses 197  of an enemy are excessive. 198 

27:7 The one whose appetite 199  is satisfied loathes honey,

but to the hungry mouth 200  every bitter thing is sweet.

27:8 Like a bird that wanders 201  from its nest,

so is a person who wanders from his home. 202 

27:9 Ointment and incense make the heart rejoice, 203 

likewise the sweetness of one’s friend from sincere counsel. 204 

27:10 Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend,

and do not enter your brother’s house in the day of your disaster;

a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away. 205 

27:11 Be wise, my son, 206  and make my heart glad,

so that I may answer 207  anyone who taunts me. 208 

27:12 A shrewd person sees danger and hides himself,

but the naive keep right on going 209  and suffer for it.

27:13 Take a man’s 210  garment when he has given security for a stranger,

and when he gives surety for a stranger, 211  hold him in pledge. 212 

27:14 If someone blesses 213  his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, 214 

it will be counted as a curse to him. 215 

27:15 A continual dripping on a rainy day

and a contentious wife 216  are alike. 217 

27:16 Whoever hides her hides the wind 218 

or grasps 219  oil with his right hand. 220 

27:17 As 221  iron sharpens 222  iron,

so a person 223  sharpens his friend. 224 

27:18 The one who tends a fig tree 225  will eat its fruit, 226 

and whoever takes care of 227  his master will be honored.

27:19 As in water the face is reflected as a face, 228 

so a person’s heart 229  reflects the person.

27:20 As 230  Death and Destruction are never satisfied, 231 

so the eyes of a person 232  are never satisfied. 233 

27:21 As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, 234 

so a person 235  is proved 236  by the praise he receives. 237 

27:22 If you should pound 238  the fool in the mortar

among the grain 239  with the pestle,

his foolishness would not depart from him. 240 

27:23 Pay careful attention to 241  the condition of your flocks, 242 

give careful attention 243  to your herds,

27:24 for riches do not last 244  forever,

nor does a crown last 245  from generation to generation.

27:25 When the hay is removed and new grass appears,

and the grass from the hills is gathered in,

27:26 the lambs will be for your clothing,

and the goats will be for the price of a field. 246 

27:27 And there will be enough goat’s milk for your food, 247 

for the food of your household,

and for the sustenance 248  of your servant girls.
