Proverbs 20:14-16

New Life Version

¹⁴ “It is bad, it is bad,” says the one who buys, but when he goes away, he talks much about his good buy.

¹⁵ There is gold and many stones of great worth, but the lips of much learning are worth more.

¹⁶ Take a man’s coat when he has given himself as trust for what a stranger owes. And hold him to his promise when he gives himself as trust for what the people from other lands owe.
