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.
