2 For their heart plots to ravage, And their lips talk of trouble.
3 By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;
4 And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
5 Mighty is the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge strengthens power;
6 For by wise guidance you wage your own battle, And delivery is by a great counsellor.
7 Wisdom is high for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate.
8 He who plots to do evil Is called a master of evil plots.
