Proverbs 11:10-16

¹⁰In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked is singing.

¹¹By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.

¹²Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.

¹³A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.

¹⁴Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance is in a multitude of counsellors.

¹⁵Evil one suffereth when he hath been surety for a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.

¹⁶A gracious woman retaineth honour, And terrible men retain riches.
