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.
13Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
14So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
15Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
16For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
17When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
18Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
20For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
