Proverbs 24:10-20

Proverbs 24:10-20

[10] If thou faint  in the day  of adversity,  thy strength  is small.  [11] If thou forbear  to deliver  them that are drawn  unto death,  and those that are ready  to be slain;  [12] 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?  [13] My son,  eat  thou honey,  because it is good;  and the honeycomb,  which is sweet  to thy taste:  [14] 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.  [15] Lay not wait,  O wicked  man, against the dwelling  of the righteous;  spoil  not his resting place:  [16] For a just  man falleth  seven times,  and riseth up again:  but the wicked  shall fall  into mischief.  [17] Rejoice  not when thine enemy  falleth,  and let not thine heart  be glad  when he stumbleth:  [18] see  it, and it displease  him, and he turn away  his wrath  [19] Fret  not thyself because of evil  men, neither be thou envious  at the wicked;  [20] For there shall be no reward  to the evil  man; the candle  of the wicked  shall be put out.
