Without counsel When men do not seek, or will not receive advice from others in weighty affairs; purposes are disappointed Their designs are ill managed, and succeed accordingly; but in the multitude of counsellors That is, of wise and good counsellors, for such only deserve that name; they are established Accomplished, and brought to a good issue. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth By a wise or good and seasonable answer: that is, “It is a great pleasure to a man to give wholesome counsel, and a greater to see the good success of it; but the greatest of all, both to himself and others, is to have given it so seasonably, that a business was easily effected by it, which had not been done without it.” For a word spoken in due season Counsel or comfort given to another in a fit time and manner; how good is it! It is highly acceptable and useful.
