Without guidance, people fall,
but with many counselors there is deliverance.

Plans fail when there is no counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed.

for you should wage war with sound guidance—
victory comes with many counselors.

Finalize plans with counsel,
and wage war with sound guidance.

Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor,
but the discipline of fools is folly.

The princes of Zoan are complete fools;
Pharaoh’s wisest advisers give stupid advice!
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one of the wise,
a student of eastern kings”?

Then the apostles and the elders assembled to consider this matter.
