Proverbs 27:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ My son, if you are wise, I will be happy.
    I will be able to answer anyone who insults me.
¹² A careful person can see danger and he will hide himself.
    But a silly person never stops, and he walks into trouble.

    take his coat as a guarantee that he will pay.
