New Testament

Proverbs 24:3-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

7. Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.

8. He that deviseth to do evil, Men shall call him a mischief-maker.

9. The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

10. If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

11. Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
