Proverbs 3:24-35 ▼

24 If thou sleepest, thou shalt not be afraide: but shalt take thy rest, and sleepe sweetely.

25 Thou shalt not be afraide of any sodayne feare, neither for the violent rushing in of the vngodly when it commeth.

26 For the Lorde shall stande by thy side, & kepe thy foote that thou be not taken.

27 Withdraw no good thyng from them that haue nede, so long as thyne hande is able to do it.

28 Say not vnto thy neyghbour, go thy way and come agayne, and to morowe wyll I geue thee: where as thou hast nowe to geue hym.

29 Intende no hurt against thy neyghbour, seing he hopeth to dwell in rest by thee.

30 Striue not with any man without a cause, where as he hath done thee no harme.

31 Folowe not a wicked man, and chose none of his wayes:

32 For the Lord abhorreth the froward: but his counsayle is among the righteous.

33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the vngodly: but he blesseth the dwellinges of the righteous.

34 As for the scornfull, doth he not laugh them to scorne? but he geueth grace vnto the lowly.

35 The wyse shall haue honour in possession: but shame is the promotion that fooles shall haue.
