Proverbs 11:15

In context

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. 17A kind man does good to himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on his own flesh.
