Proverbs 24:3-12

³Through wisdom is a house built, and by understanding it is established;

⁴and by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious and pleasant substance.

⁵A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

⁶For with good advice shalt thou make thy war; and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

⁷Wisdom is too high for a fool: he will not open his mouth in the gate.

⁸He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a master of intrigues.

⁹The purpose of folly is sin, and the scorner is an abomination to men.

¹⁰If thou losest courage in the day of trouble, thy strength is small.

¹¹Deliver them that are taken forth unto death, and withdraw not from them that stagger to slaughter.

¹²If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not, will not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that preserveth thy soul, he knoweth it; and he rendereth to man according to his work.
