6 Porque com conselhos prudentes farás tua guerra; e a vitória [é alcançada] pela abundância de conselheiros.

7 A sabedoria é alta demais para o tolo; na porta [do julgamento] ele não abre sua boca.

8 Quem planeja fazer o mal será chamado de vilão.

10 [Se] te mostrares fraco no dia da angústia, como é pouca tua força!
