1 Thou shalt not envy against men of evil, thou shalt not desire to be with them. 2 For their heart will meditate destruction, and their lips will speak labor. 3 By wisdom a house will be built, and it will be prepared by understanding: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A wise man is in strength, and a man of knowledge strengthens power. 6 For by guidance thou shalt make to thee war, and in the multitude of counselors salvation. 7 High things to the foolish is wisdom: in the gate he will not open his mouth. 8 He purposing to do evil for himself shall be called the master of mischief. 9 The purpose of folly is sin, and he mocking, an abomination to man.
