Verse 2 is found in chapter 24 of Proverbs. One should not envy evil men or desire their company because their conversation and plans are directed toward violence. In contrast, a house is built through wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. War requires counsel, and an abundance of counselors can provide security.

denn ihr Herz trachte nach Schaden, und ihre Lippen raten zu Unglück.
Porque su corazón piensa en robar, E iniquidad hablan sus labios.
Car leur coeur médite la ruine, Et leurs lèvres parlent d'iniquité.
Perciocchè il cuor loro macchina rapina, E le lor labbra parlano d’iniquità
Porque o seu coração medita a rapina, e os seus lábios falam a malícia.
因為他們的心圖謀暴行, 他們的嘴唇談論奸惡。
