³People make good houses (OR, families) by doing what is wise, and they make their houses (OR, families) strong by heeding good advice.

⁴By using good sense, they are able to buy valuable and beautiful things and put them in the rooms of their houses.

⁶Leaders can fight battles if they have wise advisors, and they win those battles if they have many good advisors.
