Proverbs 11:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ A gossip goes about telling secrets,
    but one who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a confidence.
¹⁴ Where there is no guidance, a nation^[a] falls,
    but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
¹⁵ To guarantee loans for a stranger brings trouble,
    but there is safety in refusing to do so.
