10. When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
11. By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
12. He who despises his neighbor lacks sense, But a man of understanding keeps silent.
13. He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is trustworthy conceals a matter.
14. Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory.
15. He who is guarantor for a stranger will surely suffer for it, But he who hates being a guarantor is secure.
