Proverbs 24:1-6 ▼

1 Do not be jealous of evil men, And do not desire to be with them;

2 For their heart meditates on destruction, And their lips talk of mischief.

3 By wisdom a house is built, And by discernment it is firmly established;

4 And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

5 A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge strengthens his power.

6 For by guidance you will make war, And in abundance of counselors there is salvation.
