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.** 6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors *there is* safety. 7 Wisdom *is* too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. 8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. 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; 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 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;* 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:* 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. 24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou *art* righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor 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. 28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive *not* with thy lips. 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. 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. 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: 34 So shall thy poverty come *as* one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.* [Proverbs 23](/study/proverbs/23) [Proverbs 25](/study/proverbs/25) ## Commentary To verse 1 No commentary available for verse 1. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24","name":"Proverbs 24 - Study King James Bible with sutcliffes commentary on the old and new testaments","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Proverbs 24 with sutcliffes commentary on the old and new testaments commentary. 1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 3 Through","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments","name":"sutcliffes commentary on the old and new testaments"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs","name":"Proverbs"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/sutcliffes-commentary-on-the-old-and-new-testaments/proverbs/24","name":"24"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
