Tree Of Life Version

Proverbs 24:11-19 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. Rescue those being dragged off to death, hold back those stumbling to slaughter.

12. If you say, “Look, we didn’t know this.” Won’t He who weighs hearts perceive it? Won’t He who guards your soul know it? Won’t He repay each one according to his deeds?

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

14. Likewise know that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

15. Do not lurk like the wicked near the dwelling of the righteous. Do not assault his home.

16. For though the righteous one may fall seven times, he gets up again, but the wicked stumble in adversity.

17. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, or let your heart be glad when he stumbles,

18. or Adonai may see it as evil in His eyes, and turn His wrath away from him.

19. Do not be upset because of evil people, or be envious of the wicked,
