1. Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:
2. For their heart studieth oppression, And their lips talk of mischief.
3. Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established;
4. And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
5. A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might
6. For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
