Proverbs 11:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹² Whoever belittles another lacks sense,
    but an intelligent person remains silent.
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 counsellors there is safety.
