Proverbs 24 — Context

Don't be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:

for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about mischief.

Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;

by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.

A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;

for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors.
