Proverbs 11:13-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.

14. Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.

15. He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.

16. A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.

17. A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.

18. The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.

19. Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.

20. A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.

21. Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.

22. A golden ring in a swine's snout, a woman fair and foolish.
