You say (but they are only empty words) ‘I have counsel and strength for the war.’ Now on whom do you rely, that you have rebelled against me?

Without consultation and wise advice, plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they are established and succeed.

Plans are established by counsel;
So make war [only] with wise guidance.

For by wise guidance you can wage your war,
And in an abundance of [wise] counselors there is victory and safety.

Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord,
Or has taught Him as His counselor?

For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor?

To stop

The rest of the acts of Hezekiah and all his might, and how he made the [Siloam] pool and the aqueduct and brought water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Then God removed the [protective] covering of Judah;
And in that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest (Solomon’s armory).

General references

You saw that the breaches
In the wall of the City of David [the citadel of Zion] were many;
You collected [within the city’s walls] the waters of the Lower Pool (Siloam).
