Proverbs 20:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.

¹⁷ The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

¹⁸ Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
