For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellers there is safety.

Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him?

And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest. Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
