Proverbs 24

Dont be jealous of crooks or want to be their friends. All they think about and talk about is violence and cruelty. Use wisdom and understanding to establish your home; let good sense fill the rooms with priceless treasures. Wisdom brings strength, and knowledge gives power. Battles are won by listening to advice and making a lot of plans. Wisdom is too much for fools. Their advice is no good. No one but troublemakers think up trouble. Everyone hates senseless fools who think up ways to sin. Dont give up and be helpless in times of trouble. Dont fail to rescue those who are doomed to die. Dont say, i didnt know it! God can read your mind. He watches each of us and knows our thoughts. And God will pay us back for what we do. Honey is good for you, my children, and it tastes sweet. Wisdom is like honey for your life, if you find it, your future is bright. Dont be a cruel person who attacks good people and hurts their families. Even if good people fall 7 times, they will get back up again. But when trouble strikes the wicked,that is the end of them. Dont be happy to see your enemies trip n fall down. The Lord will find out and be unhappy. Then He will stop being angry with them. Dont let evil people worry you or make you jealous. They will soon be gone like the flame of a lamp that burns out. My children, you must respect the Lord n the king,n you mustnt make friends with anyone who rebels against either of them. Who knows what sudden disaster the Lord or a ruler might bring?
