1. Do not envy evil people,do not desire to be with them;
2. for their hearts contemplate violence,and their lips speak harm.
3. By wisdom a house is built,and through understanding it is established;
4. by knowledge its rooms are filledwith all kinds of precious and pleasing treasures.
5. A wise warrior is strong,and a man of knowledge makes his strength stronger;
6. for with guidance you wage your war,and with numerous advisers there is victory.
7. Wisdom is unattainable for a fool;in court he does not open his mouth.
8. The one who plans to do evilwill be called a scheming person.
9. A foolish scheme is sin,and the scorner is an abomination to people.
10. If you faint in the day of trouble,your strength is small!
