Proverbs
Chapters 24:5-11
New International Version
5The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
6Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers.
7Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
8Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer.
9The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.
10If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
11Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
