Proverbs 27:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
    that I may answer him who reproaches me.

¹² A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself,
    but the simple pass on and are punished.

¹³ Take his garment that is security for a stranger,
    and take a pledge of him for an adulterous woman.
