30 And it occurred that everybody seeing it said: “Such a thing as this has never been brought about or been seen from the day that the sons of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt down to this day. Set YOUR hearts* upon it, take counsel+ and speak.”

14 When there is no skillful direction, the people fall;+ but there is salvation in the multitude of counselors.+

10 By presumptuousness one only causes a struggle,+ but with those consulting together there is wisdom.+

18 By counsel plans themselves are firmly established,+ and by skillful direction carry on your war.+

6 For by skillful direction you will carry on your war,+ and in the multitude of counselors there is salvation.+
