Proverbs 11:13-19 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

14. Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

15. Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

16. A gracious woman gets honor,and violent men get riches.

17. A man who is kind benefits himself,but a cruel man hurts himself.

18. The wicked earns deceptive wages,but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.

19. Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live,but he who pursues evil will die.
