Proverbs:24:5-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A wise man is strong ;
yea ,
a man of knowledge increaseth strength .
*
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war :
and in multitude of counsellors there is safety .
*
Wisdom is too high for a fool :
he openeth not his mouth in the gate .
*
He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person .
*
The thought of foolishness is sin :
and the scorner is an abomination to men .
*
If thou faint in the day of adversity ,
thy strength is small .
*
If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death ,
and those that are ready to be slain ;
*
If thou sayest ,
Behold ,
we knew it not ;
doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it ?
and he that keepeth thy soul ,
doth not he know it ?
and shall not he render to every man according to his works ?
*
My son ,
eat thou honey ,
because it is good ;
and the honeycomb ,
which is sweet to thy taste :
*
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul :
when thou hast found it ,
then there shall be a reward ,
and thy expectation shall not be cut off .
*
Lay not wait ,
O wicked man ,
against the dwelling of the righteous ;
spoil not his resting place :
