Proverbs 11:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
14 Where there is no guidance, a nation[a] falls,
but in an abundance of counsellors there is safety.
15 To guarantee loans for a stranger brings trouble,
but there is safety in refusing to do so.
16 A gracious woman gets honour,
but she who hates virtue is covered with shame.[b]
The timid become destitute,[c]
but the aggressive gain riches.
