7 Do not choose to consult with someone who waits in ambush for you. And hide your counsel from those who rival you.
8 Every counselor offers advice, but some are counselors only for themselves.
9 Guard your soul from a counselor. And know beforehand what his interests are. For he will form thoughts from his own soul.
10 Otherwise, he may set a signpost in the ground, and he may say to you:
11 'Your own way is good.' But then he will stand at a distance to see what befalls you.
