Proverbs 24 — Context

Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:

For their heart studieth oppression, And their lips talk of mischief.

Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established;

And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might.

For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
