American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth;And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted;But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
He that despiseth his neighbor is void of {Hebrew: heart.}wisdom;But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets;But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth;But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
He that is surety for a stranger {Hebrew: shall be sore broken.}shall smart for it;But he that hateth {Hebrew: those that strike hands.}suretyship is secure.
