Proverbs 11:14, NIV. For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisors make victory sure.
Proverbs 11:14-22
[14]A nation will fall if it has no guidance. Many advisers mean security.
[15]If you promise to pay a stranger’s debt, you will regret it. You are better off if you don’t get involved.
[16]A gracious woman is respected, but a woman without virtue is a disgrace.Lazy people will never have money, but aggressive people will get rich.
[17]You do yourself a favour when you are kind. If you are cruel, you only hurt yourself.
[18]Wicked people do not really gain anything, but if you do what is right, you are certain to be rewarded.
[19]Anyone who is determined to do right will live, but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die.
[20]The Lord hates evil-minded people, but loves those who do right.
[21]You can be sure that evil people will be punished, but the righteous will escape.
[22]Beauty in a woman without good judgement is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.
