Proverbs 11:13-15

The Voice

¹³ A gossip can’t keep anything confidential,
    but a reliable person protects a secret.
¹⁴ Without wise guidance, a nation falls;
    but victory is certain when there are plenty of wise counselors.
¹⁵ Trouble compounds when you guarantee a stranger’s debt,
    but you’ll be safe if you refuse the pledge.
