Proverbs 24章 ESV | 微讀聖經

1Be not 24:1 ver. 19; See Ps. 37:1envious of evil men,

nor desire to be 24:1 See ch. 1:15with them,

2for their hearts 24:2 [Isa. 59:13] devise violence,

and their lips 24:2 Ps. 10:7talk of trouble.

3By 24:3 [ch. 14:1]wisdom a house is built,

and by understanding it is established;

4by knowledge the rooms are filled

with all 24:4 [ch. 23:23; Luke 16:11]precious and pleasant riches.

524:5 [ch. 21:22]A wise man is full of strength,

and a man of knowledge enhances his might,

6for by 24:6 ch. 20:18wise guidance you can wage your war,

and in 24:6 See ch. 11:14abundance of counselors there is victory.

7Wisdom is 24:7 [ch. 14:6] too high for a fool;

in 24:7 See Job 5:4the gate he does not open his mouth.

8Whoever 24:8 Rom. 1:30plans to do evil

will be called a schemer.

924:9 [ch. 21:27] The devising24:9 Or scheming of folly is sin,

and 24:9 See Ps. 1:1the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.

10If you 24:10 [Heb. 12:3]faint in the day of adversity,

your strength is small.

1124:11 Ps. 82:4; [Isa. 58:6, 7]Rescue those who are being taken away to death;

hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.

12If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”

24:12 [Eccles. 5:8] does not he who 24:12 ch. 16:2; See 1 Sam. 16:7weighs the heart perceive it?

Does not he who 24:12 [Ps. 91:11] keeps watch over your soul know it,

and will he not repay man 24:12 See Job 34:11according to his work?

13My son, 24:13 [Ps. 19:10; 119:103; Song 5:1; Isa. 7:15] eat honey, for it is good,

and 24:13 Song 4:11the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.

14Know that wisdom is such to your soul;

if you find it, there will be 24:14 See ch. 23:18a future,

and your hope will not be cut off.

1524:15 Ps. 10:9, 10Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous;

do no violence to his home;

1624:16 See Ps. 37:24for the righteous falls 24:16 See Job 5:19seven times and rises again,

but 24:16 ch. 14:32the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

1724:17 Ps. 35:15, 19; [Mic. 7:8]; See ch. 17:5Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,

18lest the Lord see it and be displeased,

and turn away his anger from him.

1924:19 [Jer. 12:1]; See Ps. 37:1Fret not yourself because of evildoers,

and be not 24:19 ver. 1envious of the wicked,

20for the evil man has no 24:20 [See ver. 14above] future;

24:20 ch. 13:9; See Job 18:5the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

21My son, 24:21 1 Pet. 2:17; [Rom. 13:7]fear the Lord and the king,

and do not join with those who do otherwise,

22for disaster will arise suddenly from them,

and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?

More Sayings of the Wise

23These also are sayings of 24:23 ch. 1:6; 22:17the wise.

24:23 See ch. 18:5Partiality in judging is not good.

24Whoever 24:24 See ch. 17:15says to the wicked, “You are in the right,”

24:24 ch. 11:26will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,

25but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,

and a good blessing will come upon them.

26Whoever gives an honest answer

kisses the lips.

2724:27 [Luke 14:28]Prepare your work outside;

get everything ready for yourself in the field,

and after that build your house.

2824:28 [ch. 25:18]Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause,

and do not deceive with your lips.

29Do not say, 24:29 See ch. 20:22“I will do to him as he has done to me;

I will pay the man back for what he has done.”

3024:30 [Job 5:3] I passed by the field of a sluggard,

by the vineyard of a man 24:30 See ch. 6:32lacking sense,

31and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;

the ground was covered with nettles,

and its stone 24:31 Isa. 5:5wall was broken down.

32Then I saw and 24:32 [ch. 22:17]considered it;

I looked and received instruction.

3324:33 For ver. 33, 34, see ch. 6:10, 11A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to rest,

34and poverty will come upon you like a robber,

and want like an armed man.
