We now come to the final ten sayings of the wise.
We should not envy the wicked, no matter how successful they may seem, for their hearts are utterly corrupt.
Wisdom, understanding and knowledge build a great house.
Wisdom is vital to winning a battle. Power on its own is not enough.
Foolishness and evil will be found out.
We often say "things were too difficult", but strength that is worth something will enable us to overcome in times of difficulty.
Wisdom is to be greatly treasured.
The righteous may fall, but they will rise again, but when the wicked fall that is the end of them.
We should not gloat over our enemies when they fall, for the Lord is watching over everyone. Note that the Lord has concern for our "enemies" as well as for us.
There will be times when we see the wicked prosper, but we should not fret, nor should we be envious, for their "victory" is purely transitory.
It is very dangerous to join in a rebellion.
