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 builded; And by understanding it is established;

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

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

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