Proverbs 24:4
2 for their hearts devise violence, and their lips declare trouble.
3 By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established;
through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.
5 A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge enhances his strength.
