Proverbs 24:1-10
-
1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
-
2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
-
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
-
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
-
5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
-
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
-
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
-
8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
-
9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
-
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
