Proverbs 24:1–4

Be not envious of evil men,

nor desire to be with them,

for their hearts devise violence,

and their lips talk of trouble.

By wisdom a house is built,

and by understanding it is established;

by knowledge the rooms are filled

with all precious and pleasant riches.

Do not envy the wicked,

do not desire their company;

for their hearts plot violence,

and their lips talk about making trouble.

By wisdom a house is built,

and through understanding it is established;

through knowledge its rooms are filled

with rare and beautiful treasures.

Don’t envy the evil

or desire to be with them,

for their hearts plan violence,

and their words stir up trouble.

A house is built by wisdom,

and it is established by understanding;

by knowledge the rooms are filled

with every precious and beautiful treasure.

Don’t envy evil people

or desire their company.

For their hearts plot violence,

and their words always stir up trouble.

A house is built by wisdom

and becomes strong through good sense.

Through knowledge its rooms are filled

with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.

Be not thou envious against evil men,

Neither desire to be with them.

For their heart studieth destruction,

And their lips talk of mischief.

Through wisdom is an house builded;

And by understanding it is established:

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled

With all precious and pleasant riches.
