3 Through wisdom a house is built,And by understanding it is established;
4 By knowledge the rooms are filledWith all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong,Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
7 Wisdom is too lofty for a fool;He does not open his mouth in the gate.
8 He who plots to do evilWill be called a schemer.
9 The devising of foolishness is sin,And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
