Commentary on Proverbs 20:18

Theological / Devotional

By counsel. With man's limited ability and knowledge, it is wise to take counsel with others who may see a different aspect of the matter or who have had more experience in circumstances similar to the one under consideration. The graver the problem, the more necessary such consultation (see chs. 11:14; 15:22).
