Proverbs 24:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ A wise man is strong and ^[a]is better than a strong man, and a man of knowledge increases and strengthens his power;^(A)

⁶ For by wise counsel you can wage your war, and in an abundance of counselors there is victory and safety.

⁷ Wisdom is too high for a ^[b]fool; he opens not his mouth in the gate [where the city’s rulers sit in judgment].
