Proverbs 11:12-22
12He that is voidH2638 of wisdomH3820 despisethH936 his neighbourH7453: but a manH376 of understandingH8394 holdeth his peaceH2790.1
13A talebearerH7400H1980 revealethH1540 secretsH5475: but he that is of a faithfulH539 spiritH7307 concealethH3680 the matterH1697.2
14Where no counselH8458 is, the peopleH5971 fallH5307: but in the multitudeH7230 of counsellorsH3289 there is safetyH8668.
15He that is suretyH6148 for a strangerH2114 shall smartH7451H7321 for it: and he that hatethH8130 suretishipH8628 is sureH982.34
16A graciousH2580 womanH802 retainethH8551 honourH3519: and strongH6184 men retainH8551 richesH6239.
17The mercifulH2617 manH376 doeth goodH1580 to his own soulH5315: but he that is cruelH394 troublethH5916 his own fleshH7607.
18The wickedH7563 workethH6213 a deceitfulH8267 workH6468: but to him that sowethH2232 righteousnessH6666 shall be a sureH571 rewardH7938.
19As righteousnessH6666 tendeth to lifeH2416: so he that pursuethH7291 evilH7451 pursueth it to his own deathH4194.
20They that are of a perverseH6141 heartH3820 are abominationH8441 to YhwhH3068: but such as are uprightH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delightH7522.
21Though handH3027 join in handH3027, the wickedH7451 shall not be unpunishedH5352: but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422.
22As a jewelH5141 of goldH2091 in a swine’sH2386 snoutH639, so is a fairH3303 womanH802 which is withoutH5493 discretionH2940.5
