Proverbs 11:13-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. One who slanders reveals secrets,but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

14. For lack of guidance a people falls;security lies in many counselors.

15. Harm will come to anyone going surety for another,but whoever hates giving pledges is secure.

16. A gracious woman gains esteem,and ruthless men gain wealth.

17. Kindly people benefit themselves,but the merciless harm themselves.

18. The wicked make empty profits,but those who sow justice have a sure reward.

19. Justice leads toward life,but pursuit of evil, toward death.
