Proverbs 11:9-14
9
With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.
10
In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked is singing.
11
By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
12
Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.
13
A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.
14
Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance is in a multitude of counsellors.
