Wisdom 6:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²³ nor will I travel in the company of sickly envy,
for envy^[a] does not associate with wisdom.
²⁴ The multitude of the wise is the salvation of the world,
and a sensible king is the stability of any people.
²⁵ Therefore be instructed by my words, and you will profit.
