Proverbs 24:1-10

New King James Version

³ Through 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 (B)A wise man is strong,
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
^6 (C)For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

^7 (D)Wisdom is too lofty for a fool;
He does not open his mouth in the gate.

⁸ He who ^(E)plots to do evil
Will be called a ^[a]schemer.
⁹ The devising of foolishness is sin,
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

¹⁰ If you ^(F)faint in the day of adversity,
Your strength is small.
