Proverbs 20:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ “Bad, bad,” says the buyer,
But when he goes his way, then he boasts.
¹⁵ There is gold, and an abundance of ^[a]jewels;
But the lips of knowledge are a more precious thing.
¹⁶ Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;
And for foreigners, hold him in pledge.
