⁵ Let the wise hear and ^(A)increase in learning,
    and the one who understands obtain guidance,

^5 (A)A wise man is full of strength,
    and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
⁶ for by ^(B)wise guidance you can wage your war,
    and in ^(C)abundance of counselors there is victory.

¹⁴ Where there is ^(A)no guidance, a people falls,
    ^(B)but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

⁵ The plans of ^(A)the diligent lead surely to abundance,
    but everyone who is ^(B)hasty comes ^(C)only to poverty.

⁷ Wisdom is ^(A)too high for a fool;
    in ^(B)the gate he does not open his mouth.

^21 (A)Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
    but ^(B)it is the purpose of the Lord ^(C)that will stand.

27 Do not boast about tomorrow,
    ^(A)for you do not know what a day may bring.
