10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor:but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13 A talebearer revealeth secrets:but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall:but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it:and he that hateth suretyship is sure.
16 A gracious woman retaineth honor:and strong men retain riches.
