Proverbs 11:11-16

¹¹Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but through the mouth of the wicked it is pulled down.

¹²He that despiseth his neighbor is void of sense; but a man of understanding maintaineth silence.

¹³He that walketh about as talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

¹⁴Where there is no wise guidance, a people must fall: but it will obtain help through the multitude of counsellors.

¹⁵With evil will he be overwhelmed that is surety for a stranger: but he that hateth giving the hand as pledge is safe.

¹⁶A woman endowed with grace will surely obtain honor; and the powerful will obtain riches.
