Without counsel, plans go wrong, But by great counsellors they are established.
“And now, come let me give you advice, and deliver your own life and the life of your son Shelomoh.
And Dawiḏ
Without guidance the people fall, But in a great counsellor there is safety.
Folly is joy to one lacking heart, But a man of understanding walks straight.
A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And how good is a word spoken in its season!
By counsel plans are established; And by wise guidance wage a battle.
For by wise guidance you wage your own battle, And delivery is by a great counsellor.
Because for every matter there is a time and right-ruling, though the trouble of man is heavy upon him.
