Proverbs 11:12-22
12He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom;But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.13He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets;But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.14Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth;But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;But he that hateth suretyship is secure.16A gracious woman obtaineth honor;And violent men obtain riches.17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul;But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.18The wicked earneth deceitful wages;But he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.19He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life;And he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.20They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah;But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.21Thoughhandjoinin hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished;But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.22Asa ring of gold in a swine’s snout,So isa fair woman that is without discretion.
