  • Proverbs 24:1-9 (ESV)

    1 Be not envious of evil men,

    nor desire to be with them,

    2 for their hearts devise violence,

    and their lips talk of trouble.

    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 full of strength,

    and a man of knowledge enhances his might,

    6 for by wise guidance you can wage your war,

    and in abundance of counselors there is victory.

    7 Wisdom is too high for a fool;

    in the gate he does not open his mouth.

    8 Whoever plans to do evil

    will be called a schemer.

    9 The devising of folly is sin,

    and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.

    Prayer
