Proverbs 20:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Words that help you to learn things are very valuable.
    They are more valuable than gold or jewels.
¹⁶ If someone promises to pay the debts of a stranger,
    take his coat as a guarantee that he will pay.
¹⁷ If you cheat someone to get food to eat,
    it may seem good when you taste it.
    But soon it will be like sand in your mouth.
