Proverbs 11:12-22

12He that despiseth his neighbour is void of heartH3820; but a manH376 of understandingH8394 holdeth his peace.

13He that goeth about talebearing revealeth secretsH5475; but he that is of a faithfulH539 spiritH7307 concealeth the matterH1697.

14Where no advice is, the peopleH5971 fallH5307; but in the multitudeH7230 of counsellors there is safety.

15It goeth ill with him that is suretyH6148 for another; but he that hateth suretyship is secureH982.

16A gracious womanH802 retaineth honour; and the violent retain richesH6239.

17The merciful manH376 doeth good to his own soulH5315; but the cruelH394 troubleth his own fleshH7607.

18The wickedH7563 worketh a deceitful workH6468; but he that soweth righteousnessH6666 hath a sure reward.

19As righteousnessH6666 [tendeth] to lifeH2416, so he that pursueth evilH7451 [doeth it] to his own deathH4194.

20The perverseH6141 in heartH3820 are abominationH8441 to Jehovah; but they that are perfectH8549 in [their] wayH1870 are his delightH7522.

21HandH3027 for handH3027! an evilH7451 [man] shall not be held innocent; but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422.

22A fair womanH802 who is without discretion, is [as] a goldH2091 ringH5141 in a swine's snout.
