3 By wisdom a house is built, by understanding it is prepared,
4 and by knowledge its rooms are filled with every rare and pleasing treasure.
5 A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge becomes even stronger.
6 For with wise advice you wage war and in many counselors there is victory.
7 Wisdom is unattainable for a fool— he does not open his mouth at the gate.
8 One who plots evil will be called a schemer.
9 A foolish scheme is sin, and people detest a mocker.
