Without wisdom, purposes are defeated, but by many wise men they are established.
Where there is no wisdom, the people fall; but in the multitude of wise men there is safety.
Purposes are established by counsel; and with good advice make war.
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great on him.
And now come, please let me give you counsel, and save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
Folly is joy to him who is without any wisdom, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, with every leader.
For by wise counsel you shall make your war; and in a multitude of wise men there is safety.
