mkjv@Proverbs:23:33 @ Your eyes shall look upon strange women and your heart shall speak perverse things.

mkjv@Proverbs:23:34 @ Yes, you shall be as one who lies down in the middle of the sea, or as one who lies upon the top of a mast,

mkjv@Proverbs:23:35 @ [saying], They struck me; I was not sick; they beat me, [but] I did not know it. When I awaken, I will add [more]. I will seek it again.

mkjv@Proverbs:24:1 @ Do not be jealous of evil men, nor desire to be with them.

mkjv@Proverbs:24:11 @ Deliver those being taken to death, and those stumbling to be killed, unless you hold back.

mkjv@Proverbs:24:12 @ if you say, Behold, we did not know; does not He who searches the heart consider it? And the Keeper of your soul, does He know? And He repays to a man according to his works?

mkjv@Proverbs:24:13 @ My son, eat honey, because [it is] good; and the honeycomb, [is] sweet to your palate;

mkjv@Proverbs:24:14 @ so [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] to your soul; when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your hope shall not be cut off.

mkjv@Proverbs:24:15 @ Wicked one, do not lie in ambush at the dwelling of the righteous; do not spoil his resting place;

mkjv@Proverbs:24:16 @ for a just one falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked shall fall into evil.

mkjv@Proverbs:24:17 @ Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

mkjv@Proverbs:24:18 @ lest the LORD see, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him.

mkjv@Proverbs:24:19 @ Do not fret yourself because of evil ones, nor be jealous of the wicked;

mkjv@Proverbs:24:20 @ for there shall not be a hereafter to the evil; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

mkjv@Proverbs:24:21 @ My son, fear the LORD and the king; [and] do not fellowship with those who are given to change;

mkjv@Proverbs:24:22 @ for their trouble shall rise suddenly, and who knows the ruin of them both?
