By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,
but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbour,
but a man of understanding holds his peace.
A talebearer reveals secrets,
but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.
Where no counsel is the people fall,
but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
He who puts up security for another will surely suffer,
but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe.
A gracious woman retains honour,
and a strong man retains riches.
The merciful man does good to his own soul,
but he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.
but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbour,
but a man of understanding holds his peace.
A talebearer reveals secrets,
but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.
Where no counsel is the people fall,
but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
He who puts up security for another will surely suffer,
but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe.
A gracious woman retains honour,
and a strong man retains riches.
The merciful man does good to his own soul,
but he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.
