Proverbs 11:12-22

12Whoever shows contemptH936 for his neighborH7453 lacksH2638 judgmentH3820, but a manH376 of understandingH8394 remains silentH2790.

13A gossipH7400 revealsH1980H1540 a secretH5475,but a trustworthyH539 personH7307 keepsH3680 a confidenceH1697.
14For lackH369 of guidanceH8458, a nationH5971 fallsH5307,but with manyH7230 counselorsH3289 comes deliveranceH8668.
15He who puts up securityH6148 for a strangerH2114 will surely sufferH7451H7489,but the one who hatesH8130 indebtednessH8628 is secureH982.
16A graciousH2580 womanH802 attainsH8551 honorH3519,but ruthlessH6184 men gainH8551 only wealthH6239.
17A kindH2617 manH376 benefitsH1580 himselfH5315,but a cruel manH394 brings troubleH5916 on himselfH7607.
18The wicked manH7563 earnsH6213 an emptyH8267 wageH6468,but he who sowsH2232 righteousnessH6666 reaps a trueH571 rewardH7938.
19GenuineH3651 righteousnessH6666 leads to lifeH2416,but the pursuitH7291 of evilH7451 brings deathH4194.
20The perverseH6141 in heartH3820 are an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068,but the blamelessH8549 in their walkH1870 are His delightH7522.
21Be assuredH3027 that the wickedH7451 will notH3808 go unpunishedH5352,but the offspringH2233 of the righteousH6662 will escapeH4422.
22Like a goldH2091 ringH5141 in a pig’sH2386 snoutH639is a beautifulH3303 womanH802 who lacksH5493 discretionH2940.
