Proverbs 27:12-14

21st Century King James Version

¹²A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on and are punished.

¹³Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, but take a pledge from him for a strange woman.

¹⁴He that, rising early in the morning, blesseth his friend with a loud voice: it shall be counted as a curse to him.

Proverbs 27:12-14

¹²The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.^(A)

¹³Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.^(B)

¹⁴If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse.
