Proverbs 11:12-22 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
12
It is foolish to belittle a neighbor; a person with good sense remains silent.
13
A gossip goes around revealing secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
14
Without wise leadership, a nation falls; with many counselors, there is safety.
15
Guaranteeing a loan for a stranger is dangerous; it is better to refuse than to suffer later.
16
Beautiful women obtain wealth, and violent men get rich.
17
Your own soul is nourished when you are kind, but you destroy yourself when you are cruel.
18
Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the godly will last.
19
Godly people find life; evil people find death.
20
The LORD hates people with twisted hearts, but he delights in those who have integrity.
21
You can be sure that evil people will be punished, but the children of the godly will go free.
22
A woman who is beautiful but lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout.
