In context
1My son, envy not bad men, Nor desire to be with them.
2For their heart meditates falsehoods, And their lips speak mischiefs.
— Proverbs 24:3 —
4By discretion the chambers are filled With all precious and excellent wealth.
5A wise man is better than a strong man; And a man who has prudence than a large estate.
