Proverbs 11:14

Bible in Basic English 1965

When there is no helping suggestion the people will have a fall, but with a number of wise guides they will be safe.

See the chapter Copy

So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.

And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the family of Ahab did; for after the death of his father they were his guides to his destruction.

Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.

Wisdom is a fountain of life to him who has it; but the punishment of the foolish is their foolish behaviour.

Every purpose is put into effect by wise help: and by wise guiding make war.

For by wise guiding you will overcome in war: and in a number of wise guides there is salvation.
