14 For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
14 Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.
14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
14 Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.
181 An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.
181 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
181 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.
181 Loners who care only for themselves spit on the common good.
181 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment.
181 Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense.
