¹⁴ Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth;
But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

²² Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed;
But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

¹⁸ Every purpose is established by counsel;
And by wise guidance make thou war.

⁵ A wise man ^[a]is strong;
Yea, a man of knowledge ^[b]increaseth might.
⁶ For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war;
And in the multitude of counsellors there is ^[c]safety.

⁹ Oil and perfume rejoice the heart;
So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend that cometh of hearty counsel.
