11 By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
12 Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.
13 A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.
14 Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance 'is' in a multitude of counsellors.
15 Evil 'one' suffereth when he hath been surety 'for' a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.
