Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 30

23:31 See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.

23:32 Its latter end -- as a serpent it biteth, And as a basilisk it stingeth.

23:33 Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.

23:34 And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.

23:35 `They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have not known. When I awake -- I seek it yet again!'

24:1 Be not envious of evil men, And desire not to be with them.

24:2 For destruction doth their heart meditate, And perverseness do their lips speak.

24:3 By wisdom is a house builded, And by understanding it establisheth itself.

24:4 And by knowledge the inner parts are filled, [With] all precious and pleasant wealth.

24:5 Mighty [is] the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge is strengthening power,

24:6 For by plans thou makest for thyself war, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.

24:7 Wisdom [is] high for a fool, In the gate he openeth not his mouth.

24:8 Whoso is devising to do evil, Him they call a master of wicked thoughts.

24:9 The thought of folly [is] sin, And an abomination to man [is] a scorner.

24:10 Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,

24:11 If [from] delivering those taken to death, And those slipping to the slaughter -- thou keepest back.

24:12 When thou sayest, `Lo, we knew not this.' Is not the Ponderer of hearts He who understandeth? And the Keeper of thy soul He who knoweth? And He hath rendered to man according to his work.

24:13 Eat my son, honey that [is] good, And the honeycomb -- sweet to thy palate.

24:14 So [is] the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul, If thou hast found that there is a posterity And thy hope is not cut off.

24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place.

24:16 For seven [times] doth the righteous fall and rise, And the wicked stumble in evil.
