[1]Benot thou enviousH7065[H8762] against evilH7451 menH582, neither desireH183 to be with themH8691.
[2]Fortheir heartH3820 studiethH1897[H8799] destructionH7701, and their lipsH8193 talkH1696[H8762] of mischiefH5999.
[3]ThroughwisdomH2451 is an houseH1004 buildedH1129[H8735]; and by understandingH8394 it is establishedH3559:[H8709]
[4]Andby knowledgeH1847 shall the chambersH2315 be filledH4390[H8735] with all preciousH3368 and pleasantH5273 richesH1952.
[5]AwiseH2450 manH1397 is strongH5797; yea, a manH376 of knowledgeH1847 increasethH553[H8764] strengthH3581.
[6]Forby wise counselH8458 thou shalt makeH6213[H8799] thy warH4421: and in multitudeH7230 of counsellorsH3289[H8802] there is safetyH8668.
[7]WisdomH2454is too highH7311[H8802] for a foolH191: he openethH6605[H8799] not his mouthH6310 in the gateH8179.
[8]Hethat devisethH2803[H8764] to do evilH7489[H8687] shall be calledH7121[H8799] a mischievousH4209 personH1167.
[9]ThethoughtH2154 of foolishnessH200 is sinH2403: and the scornerH3887[H8801] is an abominationH8441 to menH120.
[10]Ifthou faintH7503[H8694] in the dayH3117 of adversityH6869, thy strengthH3581 is smallH6862.
[11]Ifthou forbearH2820[H8799] to deliverH5337[H8685] them that are drawnH3947[H8803] unto deathH4194, and those that are readyH4131[H8801] to be slainH2027;
[12]Ifthou sayestH559[H8799], Behold, we knewH3045[H8804] it not; doth not he that ponderethH8505[H8802] the heartH3826 considerH995[H8799] it? and he that keepethH5341[H8802] thy soulH5315, doth not he knowH3045[H8799] it? and shall not he renderH7725[H8689] to every manH120 according to his worksH6467?
[13]MysonH1121, eatH398[H8798] thou honeyH1706, because it is goodH2896; and the honeycombH5317, which is sweetH4966 to thy tasteH2441:
[14]Soshall the knowledgeH3045[H8798] of wisdomH2451 be unto thy soulH5315: when thou hast foundH4672[H8804] it, then there shall beH3426 a rewardH319, and thy expectationH8615 shall not be cut offH3772.[H8735]
[15]Laynot waitH693[H8799], O wickedH7563 man, against the dwellingH5116 of the righteousH6662; spoilH7703[H8762] not his resting placeH7258:
[16]Fora justH6662 man fallethH5307[H8799] seven timesH7651, and riseth up againH6965[H8804]: but the wickedH7563 shall fallH3782[H8735] into mischiefH7451.
[17]RejoiceH8055[H8799]not when thine enemyH341[H8802] fallethH5307[H8800], and let not thine heartH3820 be gladH1523[H8799] when he stumblethH3782:[H8736]
[18]Lestthe LORDH3068 seeH7200[H8799] it, and it displeaseH7489[H8804][H5869] him, and he turn awayH7725[H8689] his wrath from himH639.
[19]FretH2734[H8691]not thyself because of evilH7489[H8688] men, neither be thou enviousH7065[H8762] at the wickedH7563;
[20]Forthere shall be no rewardH319 to the evilH7451 man; the candleH5216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put outH1846.[H8799]
[21]MysonH1121, fearH3372[H8798] thou the LORDH3068 and the kingH4428: and meddleH6148[H8691] not with them that are given to changeH8138:[H8802]
[22]Fortheir calamityH343 shall riseH6965[H8799] suddenlyH6597; and who knowethH3045[H8802] the ruinH6365 of them bothH8147?
[23]Thesethings also belong to the wiseH2450. It is not goodH2896 to have respectH5234[H8687] of personsH6440 in judgmentH4941.
[24]Hethat saithH559[H8802] unto the wickedH7563, Thou art righteousH6662; him shall the peopleH5971 curseH5344[H8799], nationsH3816 shall abhorH2194 himH8799:
[25]Butto them that rebukeH3198[H8688] him shall be delightH5276[H8799], and a goodH2896 blessingH1293 shall comeH935 upon themH8799.
[26]Everyman shall kissH5401[H8799] his lipsH8193 that givethH7725[H8688] a rightH5228 answerH1697.
[27]PrepareH3559[H8685]thy workH4399 withoutH2351, and make it fitH6257[H8761] for thyself in the fieldH7704; and afterwardsH310 buildH1129[H8804] thine houseH1004.
[28]Benot a witnessH5707 against thy neighbourH7453 without causeH2600; and deceiveH6601[H8765] not with thy lipsH8193.
[29]SayH559[H8799]not, I will doH6213[H8799] so to him as he hath doneH6213[H8804] to me: I will renderH7725[H8686] to the manH376 according to his workH6467.
[30]IwentH5674[H8804] by the fieldH7704 of the slothfulH376[H6102], and by the vineyardH3754 of the manH120 voidH2638 of understandingH3820;
[31]And,lo, it was all grown overH5927[H8804] with thornsH7063, and nettlesH2738 had coveredH3680[H8795] the faceH6440 thereof, and the stoneH68 wallH1444 thereof was broken downH2040.[H8738]
[32]ThenI sawH2372[H8799], and considered it wellH7896[H8799][H3820]: I lookedH7200[H8804] upon it, and receivedH3947[H8804] instructionH4148.
[33]Yeta littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901:[H8800]
[34]Soshall thy povertyH7389 comeH935[H8804] as one that travellethH1980[H8693]; and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376.
