Prov. 15:22 comes to my mind...


Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Without advice plans go wrong, but with many advisers they succeed.

King James Bible
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

American King James Version
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

American Standard Version
Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

Bible in Basic English
Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.

Douay-Rheims Bible
Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.

Darby Bible Translation
Without counsel purposes are disappointed; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

While a person needs counselors they also need freedom to obey the Lord...putting the two together is often hard!

John the baptist was the greatest of all prophets, they probably called him rebellious.
