by knowledge the rooms are filled
    with all (A)precious and pleasant riches.
(B)A wise man is full of strength,
    and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
for by (C)wise guidance you can wage your war,
    and in (D)abundance of counselors there is victory.
Wisdom is (E)too high for a fool;
    in (F)the gate he does not open his mouth.

Whoever (G)plans to do evil
    will be called a schemer.
(H)The devising[a] of folly is sin,
    and (I)the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.
