Proverbs 24:1-5

Saying 20 1Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;

2for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.

Saying 21 3By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;

4through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

Saying 22 5The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
