Proverbs 11:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹² 
He who despises his neighbor lacks sense,
But a man of understanding keeps silent.
¹³ 
He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets,
But he who is trustworthy and faithful keeps a matter hidden.
¹⁴ 
Where there is no [wise, intelligent] guidance, the people fall [and go off course like a ship without a helm],
But in the abundance of [wise and godly] counselors there is victory.
