Proverbs 24:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Wise people have success by means of great power.
    Those who have knowledge gather strength.
⁶ If you go to war, you surely need guidance.
    If you want to win, you need many good advisers.

⁷ Wisdom is too high for foolish people.
    They shouldn’t speak when people meet at the city gate to conduct business.
