Proverbs 20:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ There are gold and plenty of jewels,
but the lips of knowledge are precious gems.
¹⁶ Hold on to the garment of one who guarantees a stranger’s loan,
and hold responsible the person who makes a loan on behalf of a foreigner.
¹⁷ Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
