Proverbs 11:10-20

10 When it goeth well with the just, the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish, there shall be praise.

11 By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.

12 He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.

13 He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.

14 Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.

15 He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of snares, shall be secure.

16 A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.

17 A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.

18 The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.

19 Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.

20 A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
