Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
God often provides direction through the wisdom of multiple godly counselors.
While God can and does speak to us directly, He frequently provides guidance through the wisdom of mature believers. Where there is no wise counsel, people and plans fall, but in the multitude of godly advisors there is safety and clarity. Pride makes us think we can navigate alone, but wisdom seeks input from those who walk with God.
