6 For by strategy war is waged,and victory depends on many counselors.
7 Wise words are beyond fools’ reach,in the assembly they do not open their mouth;
8 As they calculate how to do evil,people brand them troublemakers.
9 The scheme of a fool gains no acceptance,the scoffer is an abomination to the community.
10 Did you fail in a day of adversity,did your strength fall short?
11 Did you fail to rescue those who were being dragged off to death,those tottering, those near death,
12 because you said, “We didn’t know about it”?Surely, the Searcher of hearts knowsand will repay all according to their deeds.
