Proverbs 11:13-15

Lexham English Bible

¹³ A gossip walks about telling a secret,
    but the trustworthy in spirit keeps the matter.
¹⁴ Where there is no guidance, a nation^[a] shall fall,
    but there is safety in an abundance of counsel.
¹⁵ He will suffer trouble when he loans to a stranger,
    but he who refuses a pledge is safe.
