By wisdom a house is built,
And by discernment it is firmly established;
And by knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
If you are slack in the day of trouble,
Your strength is in trouble.
Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are stumbling to the slaughter, Oh hold them back.
If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
Does not He who weighs the hearts understand?
And does not He who guards your soul know?
And will not He render to man according to his work?
Do not fret because of evildoers
Do not be jealous of the wicked;
For there will be no future for the evil one;
The lamp of the wicked will go out.
