²⁹ Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will ^(A)stand before kings;
He will not stand before obscure men.

⁵ A ^(A)wise man is ^[a]strong,
And a man of knowledge strengthens his power.
⁶ For ^(B)by guidance you will make war,
And ^(C)in abundance of counselors there is salvation.

²⁷ Establish your work outside
And ^(A)make it ready for yourself in the field;
And afterwards, you shall build your house.
