1. Don’t be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:
2. for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about mischief.
3. Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
4. by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
5. A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;
6. for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors.
7. Wisdom is too high for a fool: he doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.
8. One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
9. The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
10. If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
