- Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;
- For their minds devise violence, And their lips talk of trouble.
- By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;
- And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
- A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge increases power.
