3Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established:
4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
5A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: And in multitude of counsellers there is safety.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8He that deviseth to do evil Shall be called a mischievous person.
9The thought of foolishness is sin: And the scorner is an abomination to men.
10If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.
11If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, And those that are ready to be slain;
12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; Doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; And the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: When thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, And thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Spoil not his resting place:
16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: But the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.
19Fret not thyself because of evil men, Neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: And meddle not with them that are given to change:
