22 A man of counsel will not reject understanding. A strange and arrogant man will not be disturbed by fear.
23 Even so, after he has acted out of fear and without counsel, he will be rebuked by his own criticism.
24 Son, you should do nothing without counsel, and then you will not regret what you have done.
25 You should not go into the way of ruin, and you then will not stumble on stones. You should not commit yourself to a laborious way; otherwise, you may set up a scandal against your own soul.
26 And be cautious concerning your own sons. And be attentive to those of your own household.
27 In all of your works, trust your soul to faith. For this is the keeping of the commandments.
28 Whoever believes God attends to the commandments. And whoever trusts in him will not be diminished.
