Proverbs Chapter 24

1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

Psalms
37:1 (A Psalm of David.) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
73:3  For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Prov 3:31  Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

Prov 21:22  A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Luke 14:31  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

Psalms 10:5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

Romans 1:30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

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;

Psalms 82:4  Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

Isaiah 58:6-7
6  Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

1 John 3:16  Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

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?

Prov 21:2  Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

Psalms 62:12  Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

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.

Psalm 19:10  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

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.

Psalm 34:19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Mic 7:8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

Ester 7:10  So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

Amos 5:2  The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

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

Job 31:29  If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

Obad 12  But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

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

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

Psalm 37:1  (A Psalm of David.) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

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

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

Romans 13:7  Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

1 Peter 2:17  Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

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

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

Lev 19:15  Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

Duet 16:19  Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

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

Isaiah 5:23  Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

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

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

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

1 King 5:17And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

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

Eph 4:25  Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

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

Matt 5:39  But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

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

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

Gen 3:18  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

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

33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

Prov 6:9  How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
