Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction ve-et noʿăṣîm {וְאֶת־נוֹעֲצִים | wə-ʾet nōʿăṣîm} introduces the antithetical positive clause, linking counselors with the benefit chochmah {חָכְמָה | ḥoḵmāh} “wisdom.” This antithetical parallelism underscores the contrast between destructive isolation and constructive consultation.
