Proverbs 20:5 Knowing what is right is like deep water in the heart; a wise person draws from the well within. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out. A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, But a man of understanding draws it out. People’s thoughts can be like a deep well, but someone with understanding can find the wisdom there. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out. The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, But a man of understanding will draw it out. A plan (motive, wise counsel) in the heart of a man is like water in a deep well, But a man of understanding draws it out. [Prov 18:4] Though good advice lies deep within the heart, a person with understanding will draw it out. A man of deep understanding will give good advice, drawing it out from the well within. The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
