Proverbs 24:1


← Proverbs 23:35 Proverbs 24:1 (KJV) Proverbs 24:2 →
They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
