Proverbs 11:12-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

12. Whoever despises their neighbor lacks sense;a sensible person keeps quiet.

13. A slanderer walks around revealing secrets,but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

14. Without guidance, a people will fall,but there is victory with many counselors.

15. Guaranteeing the debt of a stranger brings big trouble,but the one who refuses to shake hands will be secure.

16. A gracious woman gains honor;violent men gain only wealth.

17. Kind persons benefit themselves,but cruel people harm themselves.
