Proverbs 11:15

Compare all

13 ^aA talebearer reveals secrets,
But he who is of a faithful spirit ^bconceals a matter.

14 ^aWhere there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

15 He who is ^asurety for a stranger will suffer,
But one who hates¹ being surety is secure.

16 A gracious woman retains honor,
But ruthless men retain riches.

17 ^aThe merciful man does good for his own soul,
But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
