Proverbs

³By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; ⁴through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. ⁵The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength. ⁶Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers. ⁷Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths. ⁸Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer. ⁹The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.
