Proverbs 11:12-15

New King James Version

¹² He who ^[a]is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,
But a man of understanding holds his peace.

^13 (A)A talebearer reveals secrets,
But he who is of a faithful spirit ^(B)conceals a matter.

^14 (C)Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

¹⁵ He who is ^(D)surety^[b] for a stranger will suffer,
But one who hates ^[c]being surety is secure.
