Proverbs

¹Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them: ²For their heart studieth oppression, And their lips talk of mischief. ³Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established; ⁴And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches. ⁵A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might ⁶For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
