Proverbs 24:5-9

⁵A wise man is better than a strong man; and a man who has prudence than a large estate.

⁶War is carried on with generalship, and aid is supplied to the heart of a counsellor.

⁷Wisdom and good understanding are in the gates of the wise: the wise turn not aside from the mouth of the Lord,

⁸but deliberate in council. Death befalls uninstructed men.

⁹The fools also dies in sins; and uncleanness attaches to a pestilent man.
