Proverbs 24

Message

3 A house is built by wisdom
      and becomes strong through good sense.
 4 Through knowledge its rooms are filled
      with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.

Commands

 11 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
      save them as they stagger to their death.

 27 Do your planning and prepare your fields
      before building your house.

Promise

 13 My child,^[b] eat honey, for it is good,
      and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste.
 14 In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.
      If you find it, you will have a bright future,
      and your hopes will not be cut short.

Warning

 17 Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
      don’t be happy when they stumble.
 18 For the Lord will be displeased with you
      and will turn his anger away from them.

 30 I walked by the field of a lazy person,
      the vineyard of one with no common sense.
 31 I saw that it was overgrown with nettles.
      It was covered with weeds,
      and its walls were broken down.
 32 Then, as I looked and thought about it,
      I learned this lesson:
 33 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
      a little folding of the hands to rest—
 34 then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
      scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

Application and Prayer
