Proverbs 24:3, 5, 10, 13-14, 16, 26-27, 33-34

Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established

A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might.

If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste: So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

He kisseth the lips Who giveth a right answer. Prepare thy work without, And make it ready for thee in the field; And afterwards build thy house.

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep; So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
