Proverbs 24:1-6

Tree of Life Version

24 Do not envy evil people,
or desire to be with them,
² for their hearts contemplate violence,
and their lips speak mischief.

³ By wisdom a house is built,
by understanding it is prepared,
⁴ and by knowledge its rooms are filled
with every rare and pleasing treasure.
⁵ A wise man is strong,
and a man of knowledge
becomes even stronger.
⁶ For with wise advice you wage war
and in many counselors there is victory.
