14  Where there is ^sno guidance, a people falls,

^sbut in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

22  ⁿWithout counsel plans fail,

but with many advisers they succeed.

18  ^bPlans are established by counsel;

by ^cwise guidance ^dwage war.

5  ^aA wise man is full of strength,

and a man of knowledge enhances his might,

6  for by ^bwise guidance you can wage your war,

and in ^cabundance of counselors there is victory.

9  ^gOil and perfume make the heart glad,

and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.¹
