11
Don't ask a woman for advice about a rival of hers, 37:a coward about war,37:a merchant about a bargain,37:a buyer about selling,37:a stingy person about gratitude,37:a cruel person about kindness,37:a lazy person about work,37:a casual worker about finishing a job,37:a lazy slave about a difficult task.Pay no attention to any advice they may give.
12
Instead, rely on someone who is religious and known to keep the Lord's commands, someone who is sympathetic with you, who will be sorry to see you fail.
13
And trust your own judgment; no one's advice is more reliable.
14
Sometimes your own intuition can tell you more than seven watchmen on a high tower.
15
Above all, pray to the Most High that he will show you the right thing to do.
