Proverbs 11:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
    but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

¹⁵ He who puts up a pledge for a stranger will suffer for it,
    and he who hates being a pledge is secure.

¹⁶ A gracious woman retains honor,
    but ruthless men retain riches.
