1. BE NOT envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them;
2. For their minds plot oppression and devise violence, and their lips talk of causing trouble and vexation.
3. Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],
4. And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
