Proverbs

⁵A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might ⁶For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. ⁷Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate. ⁸He that deviseth to do evil, Men shall call him a mischief-maker. ⁹The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is an abomination to men. ¹⁰If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small. ¹¹Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
