Proverbs 11:14

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.

See the chapter Copy

Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.

Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.

Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.

Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness.

So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
