3By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established;
4through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 24:3-4
Wisdom Builds the House: Justice, Courage, Diligence, Enemies, and the Future of the Righteous
The chapter moves from warnings against envying the wicked, to wisdom as constructive strength, to courageous rescue, to future hope, to restraint toward enemies, to public justice and honest speech, and finally to ordered labor and the severe warning of the sluggard's ruined field.
