Proverbs 11:12-18 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

15. He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.

16. A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.

17. A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.

18. The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
