Perhaps thou hast taken counsel, to prepare thyself for battle. On whom dost thou trust, that thou darest to rebel?
Wherefore the Lord also was with him: and in all things, to which he went forth, he behaved himself wisely. And he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
Or with what counsel or strength dost thou prepare for war? On whom dost thou trust, that thou art revolted from me?
Let them be oppressed, with works, and let them fulfill them: that they may not regard lying words.
Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
