1 Do not envy men of evil, and do not desire to be with them.
2 For their minds will devise violence, and their lips will speak mischief.
3 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established.
4 And by knowledge, rooms are filled with all riches, precious and pleasant.
5 The warrior of wisdom is in strength, and a man of knowledge is strong in power.
6 For with wise guidance you shall make war for yourself, and victory is in an abundance of counsel.
7 Wisdom is too high for fools; at the gate he will not open his mouth.
