3 Through wisdom a house is built;
by understanding it is established; 4 by knowledge the rooms are filled
with all rare and beautiful treasure. 5 A wise man has great power;
and a knowledgeable man increases strength; 6 for by wise guidance you wage your war;
and victory is in many advisors.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 24:3-6
Commentary on Proverbs 24:3-6
(Read Proverbs 24:3-6)
Piety and prudence in outward affairs, both go together to complete a wise man. By knowledge the soul is filled with the graces and comforts of the spirit, those precious and pleasant riches. The spirit is strengthened for the spiritual work and the spiritual warfare, by true wisdom.
