“Plans are established by taking advice.

Wage war by following wise guidance.

A gossip reveals secrets.

Therefore do not associate with a babbler.

If you curse your father or your mother,

Your lamp will go out in utter darkness.”

Do you not make any plans without getting some advice. If you are going to wage war, make sure that you get some wise guidance. Stay away from gossiping people who babble all the time. Do not curse your mother or father, otherwise your lamp will get dark. You will die.
