Proverbs 11:14-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. Without guidance, people fall,but with many counselors there is deliverance.

15. If someone puts up security for a stranger,he will suffer for it, but the one who hates such agreements is protected.

16. A gracious woman gains honor,but violent men gain only riches.

17. A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings disaster on himself.

18. The wicked man earns an empty wage,but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.

19. Genuine righteousness leads to life, but pursuing evil leads to death.
