Proverbs 11:12-14

¹²It is foolish to despise others; those who ◄have good sense/are wise► do not say anything to criticize others.

¹³Those who ◄spread gossip/tell bad things about others► will tell your secrets to others, but if there is someone whom you can trust, you can trust him to not tell your secrets to others.

¹⁴A nation will be destroyed/ruined if it does not have leaders who guide it wisely; but if there are many good advisors, the nation remains secure.
