2For their heart studieth destruction, And their lips talk of mischief.
3Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established:
4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
5A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: And in multitude of counsellers there is safety.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8He that deviseth to do evil Shall be called a mischievous person.
9The thought of foolishness is sin: And the scorner is an abomination to men.
10If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.
