Proverbs 24:13-20

¹³My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; and the honeycomb for it is full sweet to thy throat.

¹⁴So and the teaching of wisdom is good to thy soul; and when thou hast found it, thou shalt have hope in the last things, and thine hope shall not perish.

¹⁵Ambush thou not, and seek not wickedness in the house of a just or rightwise man, neither waste thou, his resting place.

¹⁶For a just or rightwise man shall fall seven times in the day, and shall rise again; but wicked men shall fall into evil.

¹⁷When thine enemy falleth, have thou not joy; and thine heart have not full out joying in his falling;

¹⁸lest peradventure the Lord see, and it displease him, and he take away his ire or his wrath from him.

¹⁹Strive thou not with the worst men, neither pursue or follow thou wicked men.

²⁰For why evil men have not hope of things to come, and the lantern of wicked men shall be quenched.
