Proverbs 11:13-21

¹³He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.

¹⁴Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.

¹⁵He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.

¹⁶A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.

¹⁷A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.

¹⁸The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.

¹⁹Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.

²⁰A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.

²¹Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.
