Proverbs 24:1-6 ▼

1 Don’t envy the evil or desire to be with them,

2 for their hearts plan violence, and their words stir up trouble.

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

4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.

5 A wise warrior is better than a strong one, and a man of knowledge than one of strength;

6 for you should wage war with sound guidance — victory comes with many counselors.
