Proverbs 24:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Do not envy the wicked,nor desire to be with them;

2. For their hearts plot violence,and their lips speak of foul play.

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

4. And by knowledge its rooms are filledwith every precious and pleasing possession.
