Proverbs 24:14

World English Bible

so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul.
If you have found it, then there will be a reward:
Your hope will not be cut off.

Proverbs 24:14 in other translations

So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

12If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,”
doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it?
Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
13My son, eat honey, for it is good,
the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;
14so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul.
If you have found it, then there will be a reward:
Your hope will not be cut off.
15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous.
Don’t destroy his resting place;
16for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again;
but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
