10 In the good of the just, the city shall exult. And in the perdition of the impious, there shall be praise.
11 By the blessing of the just, the city shall be exalted. And by the mouth of the impious, it will be subverted.
12 Whoever despises his friend is destitute in heart. But the prudent man will remain silent.
13 Whoever walks dishonestly reveals secrets. But whoever is of a faithful soul conceals what is confided by a friend.
14 Where there is no governor, the people shall fall. But where there is much counsel, well-being shall be.
15 He will be afflicted with evil, who provides a guarantee for an outsider. But whoever is wary of traps shall be secure.
16 A gracious woman shall discover glory. And the robust will have wealth.
