Proverbs 20:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ “It’s no good. It’s no good!” says a buyer.
    Then off they go and brag about what they bought.

¹⁵ There is gold, and there are plenty of rubies.
    But lips that speak knowledge are a priceless jewel.

¹⁶ Take the coat of one who puts up money for what a stranger owes.
    Hold it until you get paid back if it is done for an outsider.
