3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
3 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;
3 It takes wisdom to build a house, and understanding to set it on a firm foundation;
3 Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;
3 A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense.

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.
