Proverbs 11:11-14

¹¹Through the good gifts of those who please God, the city becomes great; by the mouth of the wicked, the city is torn down.

¹²The man who has contempt for his friend has no sense, but a man of understanding keeps quiet.

¹³Whoever goes around slandering reveals secrets, but a faithful person keeps a matter covered.

¹⁴Where there is no wise direction, a nation falls, but victory comes by consulting many advisors.
