Proverbs 27:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ My son, how happy I will be if you turn out to be sensible! It will be a public honor to me.

¹² A sensible man watches for problems ahead and prepares to meet them. The simpleton never looks and suffers the consequences.

¹³ The world’s poorest credit risk is the man who agrees to pay a stranger’s debts.
