Proverbs 20:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ There is gold, and there are many gems,^[a]
but lips that have knowledge are a precious vessel.
¹⁶ Take the garment from someone who guarantees a loan for a stranger.
Hold on to it when he offers it as collateral for a foreigner.
¹⁷ Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
