Proverbs 20:15-17
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
15 There is gold, and abundance of costly stones;
but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Take a man’s garment when he has given surety for a stranger,
and hold him in pledge when he gives surety for foreigners.
17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man,
but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.
Proverbs 20:15-17

15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
