Proverbs 11:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Through the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,
but through the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
12 Whoever reviles a neighbor lacks sense,
but the intelligent keep silent.
13 One who slanders reveals secrets,(A)
but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.
