Proverbs 11:9-15

⁹In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: But the understanding of righteous men is prosperous.

¹⁰In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers:

¹¹But by the mouths of ungodly men it is overthrown.

¹²A man void of understanding sneers at his fellow citizens: But a sensible man is quiet.

¹³A double-tongued man discloses the secret counsels of an assembly: But he that is faithful in spirit conceals matters.

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.
