Proverbs 11:12-14

New King James Version

¹²He 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.

Proverbs 11:12-14

but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.^(B)

¹³A gossip betrays a confidence,^(C)
but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.^(D)

but victory is won through many advisers.^(F)
