Proverbs Chapter 24 Verse 22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

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:

For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Lest the LORD see [it], and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

Fret not thyself because of evil [men], neither be thou envious at the wicked;

For there shall be no reward to the evil [man]; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: [and] meddle not with them that are given to change:

These [things] also [belong] to the wise. [It is] not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

He that saith unto the wicked, Thou [art] righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

But to them that rebuke [him] shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

[Every man] shall kiss [his] lips that giveth a right answer.

Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive [not] with thy lips.

Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, [and] nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

Then I saw, [and] considered [it] well: I looked upon [it, and] received instruction.
