Proverbs 11:13–14

Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,

but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

Where there is no guidance, a people falls,

but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.

A gossip betrays a confidence,

but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.

For lack of guidance a nation falls,

but victory is won through many advisers.

A gossip goes around revealing a secret,

but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

Without guidance, a people will fall,

but with many counselors there is deliverance.

A gossip goes around telling secrets,

but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.

Without wise leadership, a nation falls;

there is safety in having many advisers.

A gossip walks about telling a secret,

but the trustworthy in spirit keeps the matter.

Where there is no guidance, a nation shall fall,

but there is safety in an abundance of counsel.
