Proverbs 11:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ Through the blessing of upright citizens, a city is raised up,
but by the mouth of the wicked, it is torn down.
¹² A person who lacks sense despises his neighbor,
but an understanding person keeps silent.
¹³ A gossip goes around betraying secrets,
but a trustworthy spirit keeps a matter confidential.
