24Do not want what evil men have.
Don’t long to be with them.
2In their hearts they plan to hurt others.
With their lips they talk about making trouble.
20.
3By wisdom a house is built.
Through understanding it is made secure.
4Through knowledge its rooms are filled
with priceless and beautiful things.

Neither desire to be with them.

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
