⁵ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁴ Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

²² Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
