17 A sinful man shunneth reproof, And will find a judgement according to his will.
18 A man of counsel will not neglect a thought; A strange and proud man will not crouch in fear, Even after he has done a thing by himself without counsel.
19 Do nothing without counsel; And when you have once done, repent not.
20 Go not in a way of conflict; And stumble not in stony places.
21 Be not confident in a smooth way.
22 And beware of your own children.
23 In every work trust your own soul; For this is the keeping of the commandments.
