American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Be not thou envious against evil men;Neither desire to be with them:
For their heart studieth oppression,And their lips talk of mischief.
Through wisdom is a house builded;And by understanding it is established;
And by knowledge are the chambers filledWith all precious and pleasant riches.
A wise man {Hebrew: is in strength.}is strong;Yea, a man of knowledge {Hebrew: strengtheneth might.}increaseth might.
For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war;And in the multitude of counsellors there is {Or, victory}safety.
Wisdom is too high for a fool:He openeth not his mouth in the gate.
He that deviseth to do evil,Men shall call him a mischief-maker.
The thought of foolishness is sin;And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
