Proverbs 27:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad,
    so that I may answer whoever reproaches me.
¹² The clever see danger and hide;
    but the simple go on, and suffer for it.
¹³ Take the garment of one who has given surety for a stranger;
    seize the pledge given as surety for foreigners.^[a]
