Proverbs 11:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible

12 He that despiseth his neighbor, is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding will [a]keep silence.

13 He that goeth about as a slanderer, discovereth a secret: but he that is of a faithful heart, concealeth a matter.

14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but where many [b]counselors are, there is health.
