Proverbs

⁹With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. ¹⁰When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. ¹¹By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. ¹²He that despiseth his neighbour is void of wisdom: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. ¹³He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. ¹⁴Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. ¹⁵He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: but he that hateth suretiship is sure.
