Proverbs 11:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Without guidance a nation falls.
    But many good advisers can bring victory to a nation.

¹⁵ Whoever promises to pay for what someone else owes will certainly suffer.
    But a person who doesn’t agree to pay someone else’s bill is safe.

¹⁶ A woman who has a kind heart gains honor.
    But men who are not kind gain only wealth.
