New Testament

Proverbs 24:7-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. Wisdom is too high for a fool;in the gate he does not open his mouth.

8. Whoever plans to do evilwill be called a schemer.

9. The devising of folly is sin,and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.

10. If you faint in the day of adversity,your strength is small.

11. Rescue those who are being taken away to death;hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.

12. If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,and will he not repay man according to his work?

13. My son, eat honey, for it is good,and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.

14. Know that wisdom is such to your soul;if you find it, there will be a future,and your hope will not be cut off.
