Ecclesiasticus 37:13 Context

¹¹Neither consult with a woman touching her of whom she is iealous; neither with a coward in matters of warre, nor with a merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer of selling; nor with an enuious man of thankfulnesse; nor with an vnmercifull man touching kindnesse; nor with the slouthfull for any worke; nor with an hireling for a yeere, of finishing worke; nor with an idle seruant of much businesse: Hearken not vnto these in any matter of counsell. ¹²But be continually with a godly man, whom thou knowest to keepe the commandements of the Lord, whose minde is according to thy minde, and will sorrow with thee, if thou shalt miscarry. ¹³And let the counsell of thine owne heart stand: for there is no man more faithfull vnto thee then it. ¹⁴For a mans minde is sometime wont to tell him more then seuen watchmen, that sit aboue in an high towre. ¹⁵And aboue all this pray to the most high, that he will direct thy way in trueth.
