Proverbs 24:6-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

7. Wisdom is too lofty for a fool;He does not open his mouth in the gate.

8. He who plots to do evilWill be called a schemer.

9. The devising of foolishness is sin,And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

10. If you faint in the day of adversity,Your strength is small.
