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 an 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. ⁷Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
