Proverbs 24:6-12

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.

¹⁰He shall be defiled in the evil day, and in the day of affliction, until he be utterly consumed.

¹¹Deliver them that are led away to death, and redeem them that are appointed to be slain; spare not your help.

¹²But if you should say, I know not this man; know that the Lord knows the hearts of all; and he that formed breath for all, he knows all things, who renders to every man according to his works.
