1 Do not be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2 For their heart studies robbery, and their lips speak evil.
3 Through wisdom the house shall be built, and with intelligence it shall be established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and beautiful riches.
5 The wise man is strong; and the man of understanding is a mighty man of valour.
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war, and in the multitude of counsellors there is saving health.
