Proverbs 24:1-6

1 Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them;

2 for their minds devise violence, and their lips talk of mischief.

3 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;

4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5 A wise man is mightier than a strong man, and a man of knowledge than he who has strength;

6 for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory.

Proverbs 24:10-14

10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.

12 If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not requite man according to his work?

13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.

14 Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
