Proverbs 24 (TRV)

From Textus Receptus

• 1 Do not be envious against evil men, nor desire to be with them;
• 2 Because, their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of wrongdoing.
• 3 Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;
• 4 and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
• 5 A wise man is strong, yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
• 6 because, by wise counsel you will wage your war, and in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
• 7 Wisdom is too high for a fool; he does not open his mouth in the gate.
• 8 He who devises to do evil will be called a conniving person.
• 9 The thought of foolishness is sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to men.
