'"Krishna and Bhishma are wise, discerning, self-controlled, seeking what is beneficial, and widely learned; they have spoken to you a beneficial word — accept it, O scorcher of foes. Follow, O greatly wise one, what Krishna and Bhishma have said; do not rely on the words of shallow-minded men, O scorcher of foes. Those who incite you are never fit for the task; in battle they will hang the enmity of others upon your neck. Do not wish to kill all the Kurus, your sons and brothers. Wherever Vasudeva and Arjuna stand, know that that strength is invincible. This is the true counsel of your two friends, Krishna and Bhishma; if you do not accept it, child, you will repent afterward, O Bharata."'

In this chapter, the elders of the Kurus, one after another, affirm Krishna's words: peace with the Pandavas is not weakness but the only way to preserve the family, the parents, the subjects, and the royal glory. Duryodhana is warned not with abstract phrases but through the concrete consequences of his choice: the death of his kin, the loss of the kingdom, and remorse to come.
