Proverbs 20:15-17
Modern English Version
15 There is gold and a multitude of rubies,
but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Take the garment of him who is a pledge for a stranger,
and hold it as a security when it is for a wayward woman.
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man,
but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
Proverbs 20:15-17
New International Version
15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
