Proverbs 24:11-22
Proverbs 24:11-22 NASB2020
¶Rescue those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to the slaughter, Oh hold them back! If you say, “See, we did not know this,” Does He who weighs the hearts not consider it? And does He who watches over your soul not know it? And will He not repay a person according to his work? ¶My son, eat honey, for it is good; Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste; Know that wisdom is the same for your soul; If you find it, then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off. ¶Do not lie in ambush, you wicked person, against the home of the righteous; Do not destroy his resting place; For a righteous person falls seven times and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of disaster. ¶Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles, Otherwise, the Lord will see and be displeased, And turn His anger away from him. ¶Do not get upset because of evildoers Or be envious of the wicked; For there will be no future for the evil person; The lamp of the wicked will be put out. ¶My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not get involved with those of high rank, For their disaster will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin that can come from both of them?
