Proverbs 24:1-8

24:1

Be not thou envious
<07065> (8762)

against evil
<07451>

men
<0582>_,

neither desire
<0183> (8691)

to be with them.

24:2

For their heart
<03820>

studieth
<01897> (8799)

destruction
<07701>_,

and their lips
<08193>

talk
<01696> (8762)

of mischief
<05999>_.

24:3

Through wisdom
<02451>

is an house
<01004>

builded
<01129> (8735)_;

and by understanding
<08394>

it is established
<03559> (8709)_:

24:4

And by knowledge
<01847>

shall the chambers
<02315>

be filled
<04390> (8735)

with all precious
<03368>

and pleasant
<05273>

riches
<01952>_.

24:5

A wise
<02450>

man
<01397>

[is] strong
<05797>_;

yea, a man
<0376>

of knowledge
<01847>

increaseth
<0553> (8764)

strength
<03581>_.

{is strong: Heb. is in strength} {increaseth...: Heb. strengtheneth might}

24:6

For by wise counsel
<08458>

thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)

thy war
<04421>_:

and in multitude
<07230>

of counsellors
<03289> (8802)

[there is] safety
<08668>_.

24:7

Wisdom
<02454>

[is] too high
<07311> (8802)

for a fool
<0191>_:

he openeth
<06605> (8799)

not his mouth
<06310>

in the gate
<08179>_.

24:8

He that deviseth
<02803> (8764)

to do evil
<07489> (8687)

shall be called
<07121> (8799)

a mischievous
<04209>

person
<01167>_.
