Do not envy evil men nor desire to be with them
For their heart meditates violence and their lips speak of mischief
Through wisdom a house is built
and it is established by understanding
and by knowledge the inner parts
shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches
A wise warrior is in strength
yes, a man of knowledge firms up power
For you shall make war for yourself by wise advice
and deliverance is in the great Counselor
Strangers and aliens on the earth…seek a fatherland
Like cold waters to a weary soul
so is a good report from a far country
For a Child is born; to us, a Son is given
and the dominion is on His shoulder
and His name is called Wonderful Counselor
the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace
Deliver us from the evil
for Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory to the ages
For if you forgive men their deviations
your heavenly Father will also forgive you
But if you will not forgive men their deviations
neither will your Father forgive your deviations
But now stretch forth to a better, that is, a heavenly land
Therefore beloved ones, you knowing beforehand
be on guard lest being led away by the error of the lawless ones you fall from your own firmness
But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity
(Proverbs 24:1-6; Hebrews 11:13-14; Proverbs 25:25; Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 6:13-15; 2 Peter 3:17-18 KJ3 Literal Translation Version Bible)
