New Testament

Proverbs 24:6-12 New Living Translation (NLT)

6. So don’t go to war without wise guidance;victory depends on having many advisers.

7. Wisdom is too lofty for fools.Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.

8. A person who plans evilwill get a reputation as a troublemaker.

9. The schemes of a fool are sinful;everyone detests a mocker.

10. If you fail under pressure,your strength is too small.

11. Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;save them as they stagger to their death.

12. Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.He who guards your soul knows you knew.He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
