In each of these verses there is a negative and a positive with the results of each. There are words that make a difference in each verse. These words represent two kinds of people. There are two words represented in all of the Proverbs. They are portrayed as ladies or feminine gender. They are "wisdom" and "folly". Which one could be portrayed as your mother in most of your ways? Each of these verses portray two different ways. On which way are you traveling.
Now let's take a look at some of the key words, and phrases. Verse 12 -Devoid of wisdom , verses a man of understanding. Verse 12 compares a talebearer to a faithful spirit. Verse 14- No counsel verses a multitude of counselors. Thus throughout these we see the presence of these two typical ladies wisdom and folly. We fall under the category of one of them. You stand or fall in these two principle ways. Would I be so presumptuous to ask, "Where do you fit?"

I was struck with the thought of a faithful spirit. My spirit should respond by faith in relationships(that is according to the Word of God regardless of my feelings, the circumstances or the consequences)
Lord, by your grace, give me a faithful spirit.
