1
And you will be [as unsteady] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea, And [as vulnerable to disaster] as one who lies down on the top of a ship's mast, saying,
2
"They struck me, but I was not hurt! They beat me, but I did not feel it! When will I wake up? I will seek more wine."
3
Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;
4
For their minds plot violence, And their lips talk of trouble [for the innocent].
5
Through [skillful and godly] wisdom a house [a life, a home, a family] is built, And by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],
6
And by knowledge its rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
7
A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge strengthens his power;
8
For by wise guidance you can wage your war, And in an abundance of [wise] counselors there is victory and safety.
