Proverbs 24:1-7
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 24

1Do not be envious of evil people, Nor desire to be with them; 2For their minds plot violence, And their lips talk of trouble. 3By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; 4And by knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches. 5A wise man is strong, And a person of knowledge increases power. 6For by wise guidance you will wage war, And in an abundance of counselors there is victory. 7Wisdom is too exalted for a fool, He does not open his mouth at the gate.
King James Version

Chapter 24

1Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 24

1Don’t envy the evil or desire to be with them,
2for their hearts plan violence, and their words stir up trouble. 3A house is built by wisdom, and it is established by understanding;
4by knowledge the rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure. 5A wise warrior is better than a strong one, and a man of knowledge than one of strength;
6for you should wage war with sound guidance— victory comes with many counselors.
7Wisdom is inaccessible to a fool; he does not open his mouth at the city gate.
New Living Translation

Chapter 24

1Don’t envy evil people or desire their company. 2For their hearts plot violence, and their words always stir up trouble.
3A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense. 4Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.
5The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger. 6So don’t go to war without wise guidance; victory depends on having many advisers.
7Wisdom is too lofty for fools. Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.
English Standard Version

Chapter 24

1Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them, 2for their hearts devise violence, and their lips talk of trouble. 3By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; 4by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might, 6for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. 7Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.
New International Version

Chapter 24

1Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company; 2for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble. 3By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; 4through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. 5The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength. 6Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers. 7Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
New King James Version

Chapter 24

1Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; 2For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking. 3Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; 4By knowledge the rooms are filled With 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.
