Proverbs 11:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 11:13

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is ^aexalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

12 He who¹ is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,
But a man of understanding holds his peace.

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.
