Context of Proverbs 24:8
6For with good advice shalt thou make thy war; and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. 7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he will not open his mouth in the gate. He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a master of intrigues. 9The purpose of folly is sin, and the scorner is an abomination to men. 10[If] thou losest courage in the day of trouble, thy strength is small.
