Proverbs

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 mischievous person. ⁹The thought of the foolish is sin: and the scorner 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. ¹²If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this: doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his work?
