Proverbs 20:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ If someone guarantees a stranger’s debt, hold his garment as collateral;
    if that stranger is a foreigner, hold the creditor responsible.
¹⁷ At first the bread of lies tastes sweet
    until guilt reduces it to gravel in the mouth.
¹⁸ Plans are finalized on the basis of good counsel,
    so only go to war when you have wise instructions.
