Proverbs 27:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ Be wise, my child, and make me happy.
    Then I can respond to any insult.

¹² The wise see danger ahead and avoid it,
    but fools keep going and get into trouble.

¹³ Take the coat of someone who promises to pay a stranger’s loan,
    and keep it until he pays what the stranger owes.
