Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water, but a man of understanding draws it up.
In context
3It is an honor for a man to keep clear of a quarrel, but every senseless one breaks out fighting. 4The sluggard will not plow in autumn; at harvest he begs, and there is nothing. 5Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water, but a man of understanding draws it up. 6Many a man proclaims his own kindness, but a faithful man—who can find one? 7The righteous walks in his integrity; happy are his children after him.
