Proverbs 24 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Do not be envious of those who are evil, nor desire to associate with them,
1 NO tengas envidia de los hombres malos, ni desees estar con ellos:
2 because their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about trouble.
2 Porque su corazón piensa en robar, é iniquidad hablan sus labios.
3 Through wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established.
3 Con sabiduría se edificará la casa, y con prudencia se afirmará:
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
4 Y con ciencia se henchirán las cámaras de todo bien preciado y agradable.
5 A warrior of wisdom is strong, and a man of knowledge increases his strength;
5 El hombre sabio es fuerte; y de pujante vigor el hombre docto.
6 for by wise direction you can wage your war and with many advisors there is victory.
6 Porque con ingenio harás la guerra: y la salud está en la multitud de consejeros.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.
7 Alta está para el insensato la sabiduría: en la puerta no abrirá él su boca.
8 There is one who plans to do evil— people call him a master of schemes.
8 Al que piensa mal hacer le llamarán hombre de malos pensamientos.
9 A foolish plan is sin and men despise a mocker.
9 El pensamiento del necio es pecado: y abominación á los hombres el escarnecedor.
10 If you become weak with fear in the day of trouble, then your strength is small.
10 Si fueres flojo en el día de trabajo, tu fuerza será reducida.
11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.
11 Si dejares de librar los que son tomados para la muerte, y los que son llevados al degolladero;
12 If you say, “Behold, we knew nothing about this,” does not the one who weighs the heart understand what you are saying? The one who guards your life, does he not know it? Will God not give to each one what he deserves?
12 Si dijeres: Ciertamente no lo supimos; ¿no lo entenderá el que pesa los corazones? El que mira por tu alma, él lo conocerá, y dará al hombre según sus obras.
13 My son, eat honey because it is good, because the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
13 Come, hijo mío, de la miel, porque es buena, y del panal dulce á tu paladar:
14 Such is wisdom for your soul— if you find it, there will be a future and your hope will not be cut off.
14 Tal será el conocimiento de la sabiduría á tu alma: si la hallares tendrá recompensa, y al fin tu esperanza no será cortada.
15 Do not lie in wait like the wicked person who attacks the house of the righteous person. Do not destroy his home!
15 Oh impío, no aceches la tienda del justo, no saquees su cámara;
16 For the righteous person falls down seven times and rises again, but wicked people are brought down by calamity.
16 Porque siete veces cae el justo, y se torna á levantar; mas los impíos caerán en el mal.
17 Do not celebrate when your enemy falls and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
17 Cuando cayere tu enemigo, no te huelgues; y cuando tropezare, no se alegre tu corazón:
18 or Yahweh will see and disapprove and turn away his wrath from him.
18 Porque Jehová no lo mire, y le desagrade, y aparte de sobre él su enojo.
19 Do not worry because of evildoers, and do not envy wicked people,
19 No te entrometas con los malignos, ni tengas envidia de los impíos;
20 for the evil person has no future and the lamp of wicked people will go out.
20 Porque para el malo no habrá [buen] fin, y la candela de los impíos será apagada.
21 Fear Yahweh, and fear the king, my son; do not associate with those who rebel against them,
21 Teme á Jehová, hijo mío, y al rey; no te entrometas con los veleidosos:
22 for suddenly their disaster will come and who knows the extent of the destruction that will come from both of them?
22 Porque su quebrantamiento se levantará de repente; y el quebrantamiento de ambos, ¿quién lo comprende?
23 These also are sayings of the wise. Partiality in judging a case at law is not good.
23 También estas cosas [pertenecen] á los sabios. Tener respeto á personas en el juicio no es bueno.
24 Whoever says to the wicked person, “You are a righteous person,” will be cursed by peoples and hated by nations.
24 El que dijere al malo, Justo eres, los pueblos lo maldecirán, y le detestarán las naciones:
25 But those who discipline the wicked will have delight and gifts of goodness will come to them.
25 Mas los que [lo] reprenden, serán agradables, y sobre ellos vendrá bendición de bien.
26 The one who gives an honest answer gives a kiss on the lips.
26 Besados serán los labios del que responde palabras rectas.
27 Prepare your outdoor work, and make everything ready for yourself in the field; after that, build your house.
27 Apresta tu obra de afuera, y disponla en tu heredad; y después edificarás tu casa.
28 Do not bear witness against your neighbor without cause and do not deceive with your lips.
28 No seas sin causa testigo contra tu prójimo; y no lisonjees con tus labios.
29 Do not say, “I will do to him what he has done to me; I will pay him back for what he has done.”
29 No digas: Como me hizo, así le haré; daré el pago al hombre según su obra.
30 I went by the field of a lazy man, past the vineyard of the man having no sense.
30 Pasé junto á la heredad del hombre perezoso, y junto á la viña del hombre falto de entendimiento;
31 Thorns had grown up everywhere, the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
31 Y he aquí que por toda ella habían ya crecido espinas, ortigas habían ya cubierto su haz, y su cerca de piedra estaba ya destruída.
32 Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction.
32 Y yo miré, y púse[lo] en mi corazón: vi[lo], y tomé consejo.
33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
33 Un poco de sueño, cabeceando otro poco, poniendo mano sobre mano otro poco para dormir;
34 and poverty comes marching upon you, and your needs like an armed soldier.
34 Así vendrá como caminante tu necesidad, y tu pobreza como hombre de escudo.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
On this account it is often put for all numbers together, as, "A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again," --that is, let him fall never so often, he will not perish (and this was meant to be understood not of sins, but of afflictions conducing to lowliness).

For no other reason it was said, "a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:" that is, the just man perisheth not, though brought low in every way, yet not induced to transgress, otherwise he will not be just.

But "God strengtheneth." For "the just falleth seven times, and riseth again; but the wicked shall be weakened in evils." When evils befall the wicked, they are weakened thereby; when evils befall the righteous, "the Lord strengtheneth all that are falling."..."And lifteth up all those that have been cast down:" all, that is, who belong to him; for "God resisteth …
