9With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.
10In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked is singing.
11By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
12Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.
13A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.
14Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance is in a multitude of counsellors.
