Proverbs 20:15-17

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁵ There is gold, and an abundance of pearls;
But the lips of knowledge are a more precious vessel.
¹⁶ Take his garment when he becomes a guarantor for a stranger;
And for foreigners, hold him in pledge.
^17 (A)Bread obtained by lying is sweet to a man,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
