And how abundantly you have provided sound wisdom and helpful insight!

They consult only to throw him down from his high position [to dishonor him];

But inwardly they curse. Selah.

For my enemies have spoken against me;

Those who watch for my life have consulted together,

They concoct crafty schemes against Your people,

And conspire together against Your hidden and precious ones.

For they have conspired together with one mind;

Against You they make a covenant—

Where there is no [wise, intelligent] guidance, the people fall [and go off course like a ship without a helm],

But in the abundance of [wise and godly] counselors there is victory.

Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,

But counselors of peace have joy.

Through pride and presumption come nothing but strife,

But [skillful and godly] wisdom is with those who welcome [well-advised] counsel.

Without consultation and wise advice, plans are frustrated,

But with many counselors they are established and succeed.

For by wise guidance you can wage your war,

And in an abundance of [wise] counselors there is victory and safety.

“Then I will restore your judges as at the first,

And your counselors as at the beginning;

Afterward you will be called the city of righteousness,

The faithful city.”

The captain of fifty and the man of honor,

The counselor and the expert artisan,

And the skillful enchanter.
