Proverbs 11:9-14
9
The dissembler with his mouth deceiveth his friend: but the just shall be delivered by knowledge.
10
When it goeth well with the just, the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish, there shall be praise.
11
By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.
12
He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.
13
He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.
14
Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.
