Proverbs 24:27
Wisdom Builds the House: Justice, Courage, Diligence, Enemies, and the Future of the Righteous
The chapter moves from warnings against envying the wicked, to wisdom as constructive strength, to courageous rescue, to future hope, to restraint toward enemies, to public justice and honest speech, and finally to ordered labor and the severe warning of the sluggard's ruined field.
