Proverbs 24:6-13

⁶For why battle is begun with ordinance; and health shall be, where many counsels be. (For battle is begun with forethought; and victory shall be, where there be many plans, or much good advice.)

⁷Wisdom is high to a fool; in the gate he shall not open his mouth. (Wisdom is too high for a fool to reach; in court or at the city gates, he shall not even dare to open his mouth.)

⁸He that thinketh to do evils, shall be called a fool.

⁹The thought of a fool is (a) sin; and a backbiter is abomination of men (or and a backbiter is an abomination to everyone).

¹⁰If thou hast slid, despairest (thou) in the day of anguish, (for) thy strength shall be made less.

¹¹Deliver thou them, that be led to death, (or Rescue thou them, who be led to death); and cease thou not to deliver them, that be drawn to death.

¹²If thou sayest, Strongholds suffice not; he that is the beholder of the heart, understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall yield to a man after his works.

¹³My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; and the honeycomb for it is full sweet to thy throat.
