3 Through chochmah is a bais built, and by tevunah (understanding) it is established.
4 And by da'as shall the chadarim (chambers, rooms) be filled with all precious and pleasant hon (riches, wealth).
5 A gever chacham is strong; indeed, an ish da'as (man of knowledge) increaseth ko'ach.
6 For by tachbulot (guidance) thou shalt wage thy milchamah (war), and in a multitude of yo'etz (counselors) there is teshu'ah (victory, safety).
7 Chochmah is too lofty for a fool; he openeth not his peh (mouth) at the sha'ar.
8 He that plotteth to do evil shall be called a ba'al mezimmot (master of schemes).
9 The scheme of folly is chattat (sin), and the scoffer is a to'evah to adam (man).
