Proverbs 24

New International Version NIV

1 Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;

2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.

3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;

4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

5 The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength.

6 Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers.

7 Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.

8 Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer.

9 The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.

10 If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!

11 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.

14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place;

16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,

18 or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.

19 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,

20 for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

21 Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,

22 for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?

23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good:

24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.

25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.

26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.

27 Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.

28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause— would you use your lips to mislead?

29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did.”

30 I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;

31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.

32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:

33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

34 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ne aemuleris viros malos nec desideres esse cum eis

2 quia rapinas meditatur mens eorum et fraudes labia eorum loquuntur

3 sapientia aedificabitur domus et prudentia roborabitur

4 in doctrina replebuntur cellaria universa substantia pretiosa et pulcherrima

5 vir sapiens et fortis est et vir doctus robustus et validus

6 quia cum dispositione initur bellum et erit salus ubi multa consilia sunt

7 excelsa stulto sapientia in porta non aperiet os suum

8 qui cogitat malefacere stultus vocabitur

9 cogitatio stulti peccatum est et abominatio hominum detractor

10 si desperaveris lassus in die angustiae inminuetur fortitudo tua

11 erue eos qui ducuntur ad mortem et qui trahuntur ad interitum liberare ne cesses

12 si dixeris vires non suppetunt qui inspector est cordis ipse intellegit et servatorem animae tuae nihil fallit reddetque homini iuxta opera sua

13 comede fili mi mel quia bonum est et favum dulcissimum gutturi tuo

14 sic et doctrina sapientiae animae tuae quam cum inveneris habebis in novissimis et spes tua non peribit

15 ne insidieris et quaeras impietatem in domo iusti neque vastes requiem eius

16 septies enim cadet iustus et resurget impii autem corruent in malum

17 cum ceciderit inimicus tuus ne gaudeas et in ruina eius ne exultet cor tuum

18 ne forte videat Dominus et displiceat ei et auferat ab eo iram suam

19 ne contendas cum pessimis nec aemuleris impios

20 quoniam non habent futurorum spem mali et lucerna impiorum extinguetur

21 time Dominum fili mi et regem et cum detractoribus non commiscearis

22 quoniam repente consurget perditio eorum et ruinam utriusque quis novit

23 haec quoque sapientibus cognoscere personam in iudicio non est bonum

24 qui dicit impio iustus es maledicent ei populi et detestabuntur eum tribus

25 qui arguunt laudabuntur et super ipsos veniet benedictio

26 labia deosculabitur qui recta verba respondet

27 praepara foris opus tuum et diligenter exerce agrum tuum ut postea aedifices domum tuam

28 ne sis testis frustra contra proximum tuum nec lactes quemquam labiis tuis

29 ne dicas quomodo fecit mihi sic faciam ei reddam unicuique secundum opus suum

30 per agrum hominis pigri transivi et per vineam viri stulti

31 et ecce totum repleverant urticae operuerant superficiem eius spinae et maceria lapidum destructa erat

32 quod cum vidissem posui in corde meo et exemplo didici disciplinam

33 parum inquam dormies modicum dormitabis pauxillum manus conseres ut quiescas

34 et veniet quasi cursor egestas tua et mendicitas quasi vir armatus
