1. Be not envious of evil men,nor desire to be with them,
2. for their hearts devise violence,and their lips talk of trouble.
3. By wisdom a house is built,and by understanding it is established;
4. by knowledge the rooms are filledwith all precious and pleasant riches.
5. A wise man is full of strength,and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
6. for by wise guidance you can wage your war,and in abundance of counselors there is victory.
7. Wisdom is too high for a fool;in the gate he does not open his mouth.
8. Whoever plans to do evilwill be called a schemer.
