Proverbs 24:5-9
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 24

5A wise man is strong, And a person of knowledge increases power. 6For by wise guidance you will wage war, And in an abundance of counselors there is victory. 7Wisdom is too exalted for a fool, He does not open his mouth at the gate. 8One who plans to do evil, People will call a schemer. 9The devising of foolishness is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to humanity.
King James Version

Chapter 24

5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
9The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 24

5A wise warrior is better than a strong one, and a man of knowledge than one of strength;
6for you should wage war with sound guidance— victory comes with many counselors.
7Wisdom is inaccessible to a fool; he does not open his mouth at the city gate. 8The one who plots evil will be called a schemer.
9A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to people.
New Living Translation

Chapter 24

5The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger. 6So don’t go to war without wise guidance; victory depends on having many advisers.
7Wisdom is too lofty for fools. Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.
8A person who plans evil will get a reputation as a troublemaker. 9The schemes of a fool are sinful; everyone detests a mocker.
English Standard Version

Chapter 24

5 A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might, 6for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. 7Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth. 8Whoever plans to do evil will be called a schemer. 9 The devising of folly is sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.
New International Version

Chapter 24

5The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength. 6Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers. 7Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths. 8Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer. 9The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.
New King James Version

Chapter 24

5 A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; 6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in a multitude of counselors there is safety. 7 Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate. 8He who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer. 9The devising of foolishness is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
