New Testament

Proverbs 11:14-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. Without the guidance of good leaders a nation falls. But many good advisers can save it.

15. Anyone who puts up money for what someone else owes will certainly suffer. But a person who doesn't agree to pay up for someone else is safe.

16. A woman who has a kind heart gains respect. But men who are not kind gain only wealth.

17. A kind man benefits himself. But a mean person brings trouble on himself.

18. Those who do what is wrong really earn nothing. But those who plant what is right will certainly be rewarded.

19. Right living leads to life. But anyone who runs after evil will die.
