Proverbs 24:4-16

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.

¹³Eat honey, my son, for it is good; and a honeycomb is sweet to thy taste:

¹⁴so consider wisdom for thy soul; if thou hast found it, there shall be a result, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

¹⁵Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; lay not waste his resting-place.

¹⁶For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.
