³⁰ And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider it, take counsel, and speak.

⁷ Behold, ye children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.

¹⁰ By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.

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.

⁶ For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

⁹ They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
