Proverbs 24:3-12

³By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.

⁴By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.

⁵A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.

⁶Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.

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

⁸He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.

⁹The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.

¹⁰If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.

¹¹Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.

¹²If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works.
