Proverbs 24:1-6 ▼

1 Be not thou envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;

2 for their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

3 Through wisdom is a house built, and by understanding it is established;

4 and by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious and pleasant substance.

5 A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

6 For with good advice shalt thou make thy war; and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
