Context of Proverbs 11:14
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. Where 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.
