Proverbs 24

This chapter focuses on planning, hard work, and good citizenship. Do not envy evil men or desire to be with them. A house is built by wisdom and established by understanding. It urges the reader to rescue those being led away to death and to not rejoice when your enemy falls, lest the Lord see it and turn His anger away from them. The chapter advises preparing your work outside, making it fit for yourself in the field, and afterward, building your house, stressing proper sequencing.
