Proverbs 24:1-5 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. Do not envy evil men, Nor desire to be with them;

2. For their heart plots to ravage, And their lips talk of trouble.

3. By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;

4. And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

5. Mighty is the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge strengthens power;
