Proverbs 11:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ By the blessing of the influence of the upright and God’s favor [because of them] the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

¹² He who belittles and despises his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding keeps silent.

¹³ He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy and faithful in spirit keeps the matter hidden.
