Proverbs 27:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

^11 (A)Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
That I may ^(B)reply to him who reproaches me.
¹² A prudent man sees evil and hides himself,
The ^[a]naive proceed and pay the penalty.
^13 (C)Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;
And for an ^[b]adulterous woman hold him in pledge.
