Proverbs 20:15-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ There is gold, and an abundance of ^[a]jewels;
But lips of knowledge are a more precious thing.
¹⁶ Take his garment when he becomes guarantor for a stranger;
And for foreigners, seize a pledge from him.
^17 (A)Bread obtained by a lie is sweet to a person,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
