Proverbs 27:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² Be cautious and hide
    when you see danger—
don't be stupid and walk
    right into trouble.
¹³ You deserve to lose your coat
    if you loan it to someone
to guarantee payment
    for the debt of a stranger.
¹⁴ A loud greeting
early in the morning
    is the same as a curse.
