Proverbs 24:3-14

³People make good houses (OR, families) by doing what is wise, and they make their houses (OR, families) strong by heeding good advice.

⁴By using good sense, they are able to buy valuable and beautiful things and put them in the rooms of their houses.

⁵Being wise is better than being strong/powerful; those who know many things can accomplish more than those who are very strong.

⁶Leaders can fight battles if they have wise advisors, and they win those battles if they have many good advisors.

⁷Foolish people cannot understand wise sayings/talk; at public meetings they are not able to say anything that is useful.

⁸Those who are always planning to do evil things will be called troublemakers.

⁹It is sinful to plan to do foolish things, and people hate those who make fun of everything that is good.

¹⁰If you act as though you are helpless when you have troubles, you are truly very weak.

¹¹If it is unjustly decided that someone must be executed, try hard to rescue them DOU.

¹²If you say, “I did not know anything about it, so ◄it is not my concern/I did not try to help him►,” remember that God knows what we have done, and he knows what we were thinking IDM, RHQ, and he will certainly RHQ repay us as we deserve for what we have done or for not doing what we should have done.

¹³My child/son, eat honey, because it is good for you; the honey that drips from honeycombs tastes very sweet.

¹⁴Similarly, being wise is good for your soul; if you become wise, you will be happy in the future, and God will certainly do for you what you are confidently expecting him to do LIT.
