Proverbs 11:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ Without wise guidance, a nation falls;
    but victory is certain when there are plenty of wise counselors.
¹⁵ Trouble compounds when you guarantee a stranger’s debt,
    but you’ll be safe if you refuse the pledge.
¹⁶ A gracious woman acquires honor,
    but cruel people are only interested in acquiring money.
