Counsellors Darkening Counsels
In the multitude of
counsellors; safety
abounds,
But
ln the multitude of
enemies as counsellors;
deceit abounds.
Counsellors whose heart
studieth destruction with
lips uttering mischief;
Enemies clothed with
sheep clothings as
friends;
Friends whose tongues
uttereth words born in
deception.
Counsellors whose mouth
darkeneth counsel by
words without
knowledge;
Enemies made
counsellors whose looks
appeareth friendly,
Friends whose mouth
draweth iniquity by cords
of vanity.
Counsellors who utter
counsels coated in
corruption,
Friends whose mouth
worseneth counsel by
words without wisdom;
Enemies whose heart
pondereth in destruction.
Counsellors whose
counsel are coiled in
deception,
Friends who by
multitudes of words
cause you to err;
Enemies whose mouth
captivate tender hearts.
Counsellors whose
counsel destroy the paths
of relationships,
Friends whose conceit
counsel to death;
Enemies being enslaved
seek to enslave others.
Believe not every counsel
neither inculcate every
word,
........... They destroy the
heart..........
Believe not every friend
neither heed to
multitudes of words,
........... They enslave the
soul............
Believe not every
counsellor neither seek
counsels from multitudes;
.......... They captive the
mind...........
Which counsel shall we
inculcate?
Which counsellors shall
we believe?
Which counsellors shall
we seek?
Inculcate counsels proved
by love,
Believe counsellors
whose counsel are
weighed by truth and
peace;
Seek counsellors whose
counsel are words of life.
Who shall our counsellors
be?
Let counsellors who are
genuine and experienced
be our guide;
Let counsellors who are
higher and honest be our
refuge.
Hope you find counsellors
whose counsels are
candid;
for
lt takes honest
counsellors to ensure
your safety.
