Proverbs 24:1-6 ▼

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

2 for their minds devise violence, and their lips talk of mischief.

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

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

5 Wise warriors are mightier than strong ones, and those who have knowledge than those who have strength;

6 for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory.
