Proverbs 24:1-6 ▼

1 Do not envy the wicked, nor desire to be with them;

2 For their hearts plot violence, and their lips speak of foul play.

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

4 And by knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and pleasing possession.

5 The wise are more powerful than the strong, and the learned, than the mighty,

6 For by strategy war is waged, and victory depends on many counselors.
