and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.

A house needs wisdom to plan,

So does any desired task.

32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Maximize your time.
Never rest when you can work.

past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The idler destroys by failing to act.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
