Thought this quote (Ecclesiasticus 37:14) from another thread deserved it's own.
Finally, stick to the advice your own heart gives you,
no one can be truer to you than that;
since a person's soul often gives a clearer warning
than seven watchmen perched on a watchtower.
NEB only says "tower" as does Septuagint.
NEB:
A man's own mind has sometimes a way of telling him more than seven watchmen posted high on a tower.
Jerusalem Bible says:
Finally stick to the advice your own heart gives you,
no one can be truer to you than that;
since a man's soul often forewarns him better
than seven watchmen perched on a watchtower.
I don't know if it would have made any difference or not in the past, but that one verse explained away 20 years of my cognitive dissonance.
