1 Do not envy evil peopleor wish you were with them,
2 because their minds plot violence,and their lips talk trouble.
3 With wisdom a house is built.With understanding it is established.
4 With knowledge its rooms are filledwith every kind of riches, both precious and pleasant.
5 A strong man knows how to use his strength,but a person with knowledge is even more powerful.
6 After all, with the right strategy you can wage war,and with many advisers there is victory.
7 Matters of wisdom are beyond the grasp of a stubborn fool.At the city gate he does not open his mouth.
