Proverbs 20:16-18
American Standard Version
16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger;
And [a]hold him in pledge that is surety for [b]foreigners.
17 Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man;
But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel;
And by wise guidance make thou war.
