Proverbs 11:11-15

By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, But by the mouth of the wicked, it is torn down.

One who despises his neighbor lacks sense, But a person of understanding keeps silent.

One who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets, But one who is trustworthy conceals a matter.

Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in an abundance of counselors there is victory.

One who is a guarantor for a stranger will certainly suffer for it, But one who hates being a guarantor is secure.
