Ten wise sayings
Proverbs 24:1-10

Don't be jealous of crooks
or want to be their friends.

All they think about
and talk about is
violence and cruelty.

Use wisdom and understanding
to establish your home;

let good sense fill the rooms
with priceless treasures.

Wisdom brings strength,
and knowledge gives power.

Battles are won
by listening to advice
and making a lot of plans.

Wisdom is too much for fools!
Their advice is no good.

No one but troublemakers
think up trouble.

Everyone hates senseless fools
who think up ways to sin.

Don't give up
and be helpless
in times of trouble.
