Proverbs 11:12-22
12He that despiseth his neighborH7453 is void of wisdom;But a manH376 of understandingH8394 holdeth his peace.13He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secretsH5475;But he that is of a faithfulH539 spiritH7307 concealeth a matterH1697.14Where no wiseH8458 guidance is, the peopleH5971 falleth;But in the multitudeH7230 of counsellors there is safety.15He that is suretyH6148 for a stranger shall smart for it;But he that hateth suretyship is secureH982.16A gracious womanH802 obtaineth honorH3519;And violent men obtain richesH6239.17The merciful manH376 doeth good to his own soulH5315;But he that is cruelH394 troubleth his own fleshH7607.18The wickedH7563 earneth deceitful wagesH6468;But he that soweth righteousnessH6666 hath a sure reward.19He that is stedfast in righteousnessH6666 shall attain unto lifeH2416;And he that pursueth evilH7451 doeth it to his own deathH4194.20They that are perverseH6141 in heartH3820 are an abominationH8441 to Jehovah;But such as are perfectH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delightH7522.21ThoughhandH3027joinin handH3027, the evilH7451 man shall not be unpunishedH5352;But the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422.22Asa ringH5141 of goldH2091 in a swine’s snout,So isa fair womanH802 that is without discretion.
