With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)

Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.

Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.

Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.

And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.
