## Definition:

The terms "counsel" and "advice" have the same meaning and refer to helping someone decide wisely about what to do in a certain situation. A wise "counselor" or "advisor" is someone who gives advice or counsel that will help a person make right choices.

* Kings often have official advisors or counselors to help them decide important matters that affect the people they are ruling.
* Sometimes the advice or counsel that is given is not good. Evil advisors may urge a king to take action or make a decree that will harm him or his people.
* Depending on the context, "advice" or "counsel"  could also be translated as "help in deciding" or "warnings" or "exhortations" or "guidance."
* A "scheme" is an evil plan.
* The action, to "counsel" could be translated as to "advise" or to "make suggestions" or to "exhort."
* A "plan" can be either a course of action that people agree on before they start to act or a picture drawn to show how something is supposed to look when the makers are finished making it.
* A "prediction" is a statement about what will happen in the future.
* Note that "counsel" is a different word than "council," which refers to a group of people.
* When people who think alike get together in secret to work out a plan, they are said to "conspire."
