Uh, Guys...?
BtN, gives the history of GUY as < WIDO "wood" or "wide."Why was this preferred over the etymology for "guide," ultimately
Quotefrom Frankish *witan "show the way" or a similar Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *wit- "to know" (cognates: German weisen "to show, point out," Old English witan "to see"), from PIE *weid- "to see" (see vision).

Excerpted from http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=guide
"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth." Ps. 127:4
