Proverbs 11:14-18

English Standard Version

¹⁴ Where there is ^(A)no guidance, a people falls,
    ^(B)but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
^15 (C)Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,
    but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.
^16 (D)A gracious woman gets honor,
    and ^(E)violent men get riches.
^17 (F)A man who is kind benefits himself,
    but a cruel man hurts himself.
¹⁸ The wicked earns deceptive wages,
    but one who ^(G)sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
