2 For destruction doth their heart meditate, And perverseness do their lips speak.
3 By wisdom is a house builded, And by understanding it establisheth itself.
4 And by knowledge the inner parts are filled, [With] all precious and pleasant wealth.
5 Mighty [is] the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge is strengthening power,
6 For by plans thou makest for thyself war, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.
7 Wisdom [is] high for a fool, In the gate he openeth not his mouth.
8 Whoso is devising to do evil, Him they call a master of wicked thoughts.
