Proverbs 24:3-12

³An house shall be builded by wisdom, and it shall be made strong by prudence, (or by understanding).

⁴The Cellars shall be filled in teaching, with all riches precious and full fair. (By knowledge and study, the cellars shall be filled with all precious and beautiful things of riches.)

⁵A wise man is strong, and a learned man is stalworthy and mighty.

⁶For why battle is begun with ordinance; and health shall be, where many counsels be. (For battle is begun with forethought; and victory shall be, where there be many plans, or much good advice.)

⁷Wisdom is high to a fool; in the gate he shall not open his mouth. (Wisdom is too high for a fool to reach; in court or at the city gates, he shall not even dare to open his mouth.)

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

⁹The thought of a fool is (a) sin; and a backbiter is abomination of men (or and a backbiter is an abomination to everyone).

¹⁰If thou hast slid, despairest (thou) in the day of anguish, (for) thy strength shall be made less.

¹¹Deliver thou them, that be led to death, (or Rescue thou them, who be led to death); and cease thou not to deliver them, that be drawn to death.

¹²If thou sayest, Strongholds suffice not; he that is the beholder of the heart, understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall yield to a man after his works.
