Proverbs 11:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ A person who gossips can’t keep secrets.
    But a trustworthy person can keep a secret.

¹⁴ Without leadership a nation will be defeated.
    But when many people give advice, it will be safe.

¹⁵ Whoever guarantees to pay what somebody else owes will suffer.
    It is safer to avoid such promises.
