Proverbs 11:14-17

¹⁴They that have no guidance fall like leaves: but in much counsel there is safety.

¹⁵A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man: and he hates the sound of safety.

¹⁶A gracious wife brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonor. The slothful come to lack: but the diligent support themselves with wealth.

¹⁷A merciful man does good to his own soul: but the merciless destroys his own body.
