Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 24

Proverbs 24:1
Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:

Proverbs 24:2
Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.

Proverbs 24:3
By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.

Proverbs 24:4
By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.

Proverbs 24:5
A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.

Proverbs 24:6
Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.

Proverbs 24:7
Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.

Proverbs 24:8
He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.

Proverbs 24:9
The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.

Proverbs 24:10
If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.

Proverbs 24:11
Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.

Proverbs 24:12
If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, end he shall render to a man according to his works.

Proverbs 24:13
Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:

Proverbs 24:14
So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.

Proverbs 24:15
Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.

Proverbs 24:16
For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.

Proverbs 24:17
When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:

Proverbs 24:18
Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

Proverbs 24:19
Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:

Proverbs 24:20
For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

Proverbs 24:21
My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.

Proverbs 24:22
For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?

Proverbs 24:23
These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.

Proverbs 24:24
They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.

Proverbs 24:25
They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.

Proverbs 24:26
He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.

Proverbs 24:27
Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.

Proverbs 24:28
Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.

Proverbs 24:29
Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.

Proverbs 24:30
I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:

Proverbs 24:31
And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.

Proverbs 24:32
Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.

Proverbs 24:33
Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest:

Proverbs 24:34
And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
