Proverbs 27:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
    that I may answer him who reproaches me.
¹² A prudent man sees danger and hides himself;
    but the simple go on, and suffer for it.
¹³ Take a man’s garment when he has given surety for a stranger,
    and hold him in pledge when he gives surety for foreigners.^[a]
