Proverbs 11:12-14

12He who despises his neighbor lacks sense, But a man of understanding keeps silent.

13He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets, But he who is trustworthy and faithful keeps a matter hidden.

14Where there is no [wise, intelligent] guidance, the people fall [and go off course like a ship without a helm], But in the abundance of [wise and godly] counselors there is victory.
