Proverbs 11:12-17

¹²He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.

¹³Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.

¹⁴Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.

¹⁵Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.

¹⁶A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.

¹⁷Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
