Proverbs 27:11-13
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
11 Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
12 The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
13 Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.

New International Version
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;(A)
then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.(B)

but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.(C)

hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.(D)
