Proverbs 24:5-14 NIV

Proverbs 24:5-14

Saying 22

The wise prevail through great power,

and those who have knowledge muster their strength.

Surely you need guidance to wage war,

and victory is won through many advisers.

Saying 23

Wisdom is too high for fools;

in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.

Saying 24

Whoever plots evil

will be known as a schemer.

The schemes of folly are sin,

and people detest a mocker.

Saying 25

If you falter in a time of trouble,

how small is your strength!

Rescue those being led away to death;

hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”

does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?

Does not he who guards your life know it?

Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

Saying 26

Eat honey, my son, for it is good;

honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.

Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:

If you find it, there is a future hope for you,

and your hope will not be cut off.
