Proverbs 20:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ There is gold and a multitude of rubies,
    but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

¹⁶ Take the garment of him who is a pledge for a stranger,
    and hold it as a security when it is for a wayward woman.

¹⁷ Bread of deceit is sweet to a man,
    but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
