Proverbs 24:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 24:3

Compare all

1 Do not be ^aenvious of evil men,
Nor desire to be with them;

2 For their heart devises violence,
And their lips talk of troublemaking.

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 ^aA wise man is strong,
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;

6 ^aFor by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

7 ^aWisdom is too lofty for a fool;
He does not open his mouth in the gate.

8 He who ^aplots to do evil
Will be called a¹ schemer.

9 The devising of foolishness is sin,
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
