Proverbs 20:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ Take a man’s coat when he has given himself as trust for what a stranger owes. And hold him to his promise when he gives himself as trust for what the people from other lands owe.

¹⁷ Bread a man gets by lying is sweet to him, but later his mouth will be filled with sand.

¹⁸ Make plans by listening to what others have to say, and make war by listening to the leading of wise men.
