11. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12. He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13. He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
14. Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15. He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure.
