3 By wisdom is a house builded, And by understanding it establisheth itself. 4 And by knowledge the inner parts are filled, 'With' all precious and pleasant wealth. 5 Mighty 'is' the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge is strengthening power, 6 For by plans thou makest for thyself war, And deliverance 'is' in a multitude of counsellors.
Matthew Henry's 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.
