5A warrior of wisdom is strong, and a man of knowledge increases his strength;
6for by wise direction you can wage your war and with many advisors there is victory.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.
8There is one who plans to do evil— people call him a master of schemes.
9A foolish plan is sin and men despise a mocker.
10If you become weak with fear in the day of trouble, then your strength is small.
11Rescue those who are being taken away to death and hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter.
