Proverbs 15:22

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

There is a time and opportunity for every business, and great affliction for man:

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

Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.

A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.

And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and with all the commanders.

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