6For by plans thou makest for thyself war, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.
7Wisdom [is] high for a fool, In the gate he openeth not his mouth.
8Whoso is devising to do evil, Him they call a master of wicked thoughts.
9The thought of folly [is] sin, And an abomination to man [is] a scorner.
10Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,
11If [from] delivering those taken to death, And those slipping to the slaughter -- thou keepest back.
12When thou sayest, `Lo, we knew not this.` Is not the Ponderer of hearts He who understandeth? And the Keeper of thy soul He who knoweth? And He hath rendered to man according to his work.
