Proverbs 24:1-9

1 Don't you be envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:
2 For their hearts plot violence, And their lips talk about mischief.
3 Through wisdom a house is built; By understanding it is established;
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled With all rare and beautiful treasure.
5 A wise man has great power; And a knowledgeable man increases strength;
6 For by wise guidance you wage your war; And victory is in many advisors.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: He doesn't open his mouth in the gate.
8 One who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
