"Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.... Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge" (Proverbs 19:21). "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away" (Matthew 24:35).
Many indeed, are the counsels of man
This world so highly esteems.
The counsel that counts is that which will stand;
All else are just wrongheaded dreams.
Cease from instruction that causes your heart
To go from God's counsel astray.
Heaven and earth shall surely depart
But His words shall not pass away.
