5A wise man is always in power; and a man of knowledge fortifieth his strength.
6For by wise counsel canst thou conduct thy war; and there is help in a multitude of counsellors.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: in the gate can he not open his mouth.
8Him that deviseth to do evil, men call a master of wicked devices.
9The counsel of folly is sin; and an abomination to men is the scorner.
10If thou despond on the day of distress, thy strength is small.
11Deliver those that are taken unto death, and those that are moved away to the slaughter hold back.
12If thou shouldst say, Behold, we know not this man: lo, he that weigheth hearts will truly regard it, and he that keepeth thy soul will surely know it; and he will give a recompense to man according to his doing.
