Proverbs 24:14

Read in context

Proverbs 24:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?

13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.

14 Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.

16 For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.
