Proverbs 11:14

In context

12Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding keeps quiet. 13Whoever goes about as a gossip reveals a secret, but the trustworthy in spirit keeps a matter hidden. 14Where there is no guidance a people falls, but there is deliverance in many counselors. 15Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer for it, but whoever hates striking hands in pledge is secure. 16A gracious woman holds on to honor, but ruthless men hold on to riches.
