3Through wisdom is a house built; and through understanding is it firmly established;
4And through knowledge are chambers filled with all manner of precious and pleasant wealth.
5A wise man is always in power; and a man of knowledge fortifieth his strength.
6For by wise counsel canst thou conduct thy war; and there is help in a multitude of counsellors.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: in the gate can he not open his mouth.
8Him that deviseth to do evil, men call a master of wicked devices.
9The counsel of folly is sin; and an abomination to men is the scorner.
10If thou despond on the day of distress, thy strength is small.
