Wise Counsel

Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.

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

A fool’s way is right in his own eyes, but whoever listens to counsel is wise.

Arrogance leads to nothing but strife, but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.

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

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

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

The one who trusts in himself is a fool, but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,

For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
