Proverbios 24
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
19
24 No envidies a los malvados,
ni procures su compañía;
2 porque en su corazón traman violencia,
y no hablan más que de cometer fechorías.
20
3 Con sabiduría se construye la casa;
con inteligencia se echan los cimientos.
4 Con buen juicio se llenan sus cuartos
de bellos y extraordinarios tesoros.
21
5 El que es sabio tiene gran poder,
y el que es entendido aumenta su fuerza.
6 La guerra se hace con buena estrategia;
la victoria se alcanza con muchos consejeros.
22
7 La sabiduría no está al alcance del necio,
que en la asamblea del pueblo[a] nada tiene que decir.
23
8 Al que hace planes malvados
lo llamarán intrigante.
9 Las intrigas del necio son pecado,
y todos aborrecen a los insolentes.
24
10 Si en el día de la aflicción te desanimas,
muy limitada es tu fortaleza.
25
11 Rescata a los que van rumbo a la muerte;
detén a los que a tumbos avanzan al suplicio.
12 Pues, aunque digas: «Yo no lo sabía»,
¿no habrá de darse cuenta el que pesa los corazones?
¿No habrá de saberlo el que vigila tu vida,
el que paga a cada uno según sus acciones?
26
13 Come la miel, hijo mío, que es deliciosa;
dulce al paladar es la miel del panal.
14 Así de dulce sea la sabiduría a tu alma;
si das con ella, tendrás buen futuro;
tendrás una esperanza que no será destruida.
27
15 No aceches cual malvado la casa del justo,
ni arrases el lugar donde habita;
16 porque siete veces podrá caer el justo,
pero otras tantas se levantará;
los malvados, en cambio,
se hundirán en la desgracia.
28
17 No te alegres cuando caiga tu enemigo,
ni se regocije tu corazón ante su desgracia,
18 no sea que el Señor lo vea y no lo apruebe,
y aparte de él su enojo.
29
19 No te alteres por causa de los malvados,
ni sientas envidia de los impíos,
20 porque el malvado no tiene porvenir;
¡la lámpara del impío se apagará!
30
21 Hijo mío, teme al Señor y honra al rey,
y no te juntes con los rebeldes,
22 porque de los dos recibirás un castigo repentino
¡y quién sabe qué calamidades sobrevendrán!
Otros dichos de los sabios
23 También estos son dichos de los sabios:
No es correcto ser parcial en el juicio.
24 Maldecirán los pueblos, y despreciarán las naciones,
a quien declare inocente al culpable.
25 Pero bien vistos serán, y bendecidos,
los que condenen al culpable.
26 Una respuesta sincera
es como un beso en los labios.
27 Prepara primero tus faenas de cultivo
y ten listos tus campos para la siembra;
después de eso, construye tu casa.
28 No testifiques sin razón contra tu prójimo,
ni mientas con tus labios.
29 No digas: «Le haré lo mismo que me hizo;
le pagaré con la misma moneda».
30 Pasé por el campo del perezoso,
por la viña del falto de juicio.
31 Había espinas por todas partes;
la hierba cubría el terreno,
y el lindero de piedras estaba en ruinas.
32 Guardé en mi corazón lo observado,
y de lo visto saqué una lección:
33 Un corto sueño, una breve siesta,
un pequeño descanso, cruzado de brazos…
34 ¡y te asaltará la pobreza como un bandido,
y la escasez, como un hombre armado!

Proverbs 24
New King James Version
Proverbs 24
New King James Version
Do Not Envy Evil Men
24 Do not be (A)envious of evil men,
Nor desire to be with them;
2 For their heart devises violence,
And their lips talk of troublemaking.
3 Through wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
5 (B)A wise man is strong,
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
6 (C)For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
7 (D)Wisdom is too lofty for a fool;
He does not open his mouth in the gate.
8 He who (E)plots to do evil
Will be called a [a]schemer.
9 The devising of foolishness is sin,
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
10 If you (F)faint in the day of adversity,
Your strength is small.
11 (G)Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
12 If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
Does not (H)He who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man (I)according to his deeds?
13 My son, (J)eat honey because it is good,
And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;
14 (K)So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;
If you have found it, there is a [b]prospect,
And your hope will not be cut off.
15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not plunder his resting place;
16 (L)For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again,
(M)But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
17 (N)Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18 Lest the Lord see it, and [c]it displease Him,
And He turn away His wrath from him.
19 (O)Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the wicked;
20 For there will be no prospect for the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21 My son, (P)fear the Lord and the king;
Do not associate with those given to change;
22 For their calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin those two can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These things also belong to the wise:
(Q)It is not good to [d]show partiality in judgment.
24 (R)He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
Him the people will curse;
Nations will abhor him.
25 But those who rebuke the wicked will have (S)delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.
26 He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.
27 (T)Prepare your outside work,
Make it fit for yourself in the field;
And afterward build your house.
28 (U)Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,
[e]For would you deceive with your lips?
29 (V)Do not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me;
I will render to the man according to his work.”
30 I went by the field of the lazy man,
And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31 And there it was, (W)all overgrown with thorns;
Its surface was covered with nettles;
Its stone wall was broken down.
32 When I saw it, I considered it well;
I looked on it and received instruction:
33 (X)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest;
34 (Y)So shall your poverty come like [f]a prowler,
And your need like [g]an armed man.

Saying 20
24 Do not envy(A) the wicked,
do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence,(B)
and their lips talk about making trouble.(C)
Saying 21
3 By wisdom a house is built,(D)
and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.(E)
Saying 22
5 The wise prevail through great power,
and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
6 Surely you need guidance to wage war,
and victory is won through many advisers.(F)
Saying 23
7 Wisdom is too high for fools;
in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
Saying 24
8 Whoever plots evil
will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin,
and people detest a mocker.
Saying 25
10 If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!(G)
11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.(H)
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs(I) the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay(J) everyone according to what they have done?(K)
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 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.(L)
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.(M)
Saying 28
17 Do not gloat(N) when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,(O)
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.(P)
Saying 29
19 Do not fret(Q) because of evildoers
or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evildoer has no future hope,
and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.(R)
Saying 30
21 Fear the Lord and the king,(S) my son,
and do not join with rebellious officials,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction(T) on them,
and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:(U)
To show partiality(V) in judging is not good:(W)
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,”(X)
will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Put your outdoor work in order
and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause(Y)—
would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”(Z)
30 I went past the field of a sluggard,(AA)
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(AB)—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.(AC)
