Proverbs 27:12-14
The Voice
12 The astute see evil coming and take shelter,
but the stupid plow right on and then, of course, have to pay the price.
13 If someone guarantees a stranger’s debt, hold his garment as collateral;
if that guarantee is for the debt of a foreigner, make sure you get a deposit.
14 Anyone who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice
early in the morning,
will find his blessing regarded as a curse.
Proverbs 27:12-14
New International Version
Proverbs 27:12-14
New International Version
12 The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.(A)
13 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.(B)
14 If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse.
