New King James Version

Proverbs 24:4-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

4. By knowledge the rooms are filledWith all precious and pleasant riches.

5. A wise man is strong,Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;

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

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

8. He who plots to do evilWill be called a schemer.

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

10. If you faint in the day of adversity,Your strength is small.

11. Deliver those who are drawn toward death,And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
