Proverbs 11:12-22

12He that despiseth his neighbour is void of wisdomH3820: but a manH376 of understandingH8394 holdeth his peace.

13He that goeth aboutH1697 as a talebearerH7400 revealeth secretsH5475: but he that is of a faithfulH539 spiritH7307 concealeth the matterH1697.

14Where noH369 wiseH8458 guidanceH8458 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 suretiship is sure.

16A graciousH2580 womanH802 retaineth honour: and violentH6184 menH6184 retain richesH6239.

17The merciful manH376 doeth good to his ownH376 soulH5315: but he that is cruelH394 troubleth his ownH376 fleshH7607.

18The wickedH7563 earneth deceitfulH8267 wagesH6468: but he that soweth righteousnessH6666 hath a sure rewardH6468.

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 the LORDH3068: but such as are perfectH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delightH7522.

21Though handH3027 join in handH3027, the evilH7451 manH6662 shall notH3808 be unpunishedH5352: but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422.

22As a jewel of goldH2091 in a swine’sH2386 snoutH639, soH5493 is a fairH3303 womanH802 whichH802 is without discretionH2940.
